Dark Descent<br /> &quot;I sung of Chaos and eternal Night<br /> Taught by the heav&#039;nly Muse to venture down<br /> The Dark Descent, and up to reascend&quot;

I have not slept
Between the acting of a dreadful thing
Like the first motion, all the interim is
Like a phantasm, or a hideous dream:
The Genius and the mortal instruments
Are then in council; and the state of man,Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection.
