In Xanadu I thus decree a new genesis for all to see, and in my garden I shall erect a temple dedicated to me. In the temple I shall place the stone of destiny. The walls shall be bare and from the sanctum sanctorum shall shine the brilliant blue light that marks the path to eternity. Thus in Xanadu there shall be both the glory that comes by day and by night. And, upon its completion I shall cause all to exist.

And in that day, the ground shall bring forth the invitation. And in that night, a feast shall be held and a dance. Upon the new morning as the new sun rises, those invited shall rest and I shall set upon the platform a seat and a lectern. Upon the lectern shall be adorned the measure and the way. And upon the seat the eye, the key of life, and the reed. And upon the close of day two, I shall cause to come forth the waters and bread made from gold. Life everlasting Life evermore. Eternity to turn into Infinity. And in the third day I shall sit upon the seat and make my argument before God and his company. On the forth in Thanksgiving for the Divine blessing, I shall fill the floors of the outer court with roses and the floors of the inner court with gardenias.

On day five I shall usher into existence the rod of peace and the helm of salvation. I shall place upon the pillars of strength and beauty the burden of stability. On day six, I shall raise the arches of the vault of the skies to behold the radiance of the heavens. On day seven, I shall behold my work and see that it is good and render it all to the divine. I shall step down from the lectern and take my position prostrate upon the stone in humble adoration before the one truth that which passes all understanding. And at the close of day seven I shall rise and open up the doors of the temple and fill it with music and shall rest for all of it is good and all are happy in peace.
