I have not loved the world, nor the world me.
The image of Eternity--the throne Of the Invisible; even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made; each zone Obeys thee; thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone.
I die but first I have possessed, And come what may, I have been blessed.
They truly mourn, that mourn without a witness.
There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.
History - the devil's scripture
