Genesis begins with us, moderns, at the origin. We are in Vienna, in the heart of civilized Europe, in the salons of the Academy of Sciences. Marie Curie has just discovered radio-activity. The art of the manipulative scientist, who plays with matter as you play with your life with a pistol. Lucifer is there, in full regalia and top hat, the first to pay tribute. Lucifer's speech to man, he repeats the first words of God, the very first, those of Genesis, those that brought the world into being. His disproportionately long hands give birth to the words of God, to God delivered. Words give birth to matter. And now matter, thanks to radium, has become the equal of God, producing its own energy. Light-bringer: that's Lucifer's name.
