If God who holds you to the pit of hell,

Baffle and dissipate your soul.”

The darkest pit of lowest Erebus,
Nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out
By help of dreams can breed such fear and awe
As fall upon us often when we look
Into our Minds, into the Mind of Man.”

“Violence does, in truth, recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another.”
