The Argument
Rintrah roars & shakes his fires in the burdened air;
Hungry clouds swag on the deep
Once meek, and in a perilous path,
The just man kept his course along
The vale of death.
Roses are planted where thorns grow.
And on the barren heath
Sing the honey bees.
Then the perilous path was planted:
And a river, and a spring
On every cliff and tomb;
And on the bleached bones
Red clay brought forth.
Till the villain left the paths of ease,
To walk in perilous paths, and drive
The just man into barren climes.
Now the sneaking serpent walks
In mild humility.
And the just man rages in the wilds
Where lions roam.
Rintrah roars & shakes his fires in the burdened air;
Hungry clouds swag on the deep.
Proverbs of Hell
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence.
If a fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.
The soul of sweet delight can never be defil’d.
Prisons are built with stones of Law. Brothels with bricks of Religion. The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is: infinite.
He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence.
The soul of sweet delight can never be defil’d.
As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.
