After being free from the Village Life, he enters the realm of the poets, musicians and artists in a realm where reality appears indistiguishable from what one may call dream and myth. Here he sees the lighted figure of Orpheus, the Greek musician of Heaven, moving through an animated living world of flowers, plants and animals. The human search for love receives another meaning in this “Forest Life”. He sees nymphs and muses bathing by the “Lake of Eros”, meets artist who is trying to capture the beauty of an ethereal nature which exists outside the boundary of the senses. It is a realn where man moves in a realm where the instincts still follow life like a shadowy figure of a hunter, who is out to abduct beauty who is seeking love of Platonic nature. This search for beauty and love ends up in a tragedy. He gets blinded by the very beauty he has been searching. Thus after loosing the power of vision endowed by the physical eyes, he gains sights of a realm which opens the inner world not attached to the physical forms.
