Samuel Taylor Coleridge — Ne Plus Ultra

       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspSole Positive of Night!        &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspAntipathist of Light! Fate's only essence! primal scorpion rod— The one permitted opposite of God!— Condenséd blackness and abysmal storm        &nbsp       &nbspCompacted to one sceptre        &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspArms the Grasp enorm—        &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspThe Intercepter— The Substance that still casts the shadow Death!—        &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspThe Dragon foul and fell—        &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspThe unrevealable, And hidden one, whose breath Gives wind and fuel to the fires of Hell!        &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspAh! sole despair        &nbsp       &nbsp      Of both th' eternities in Heaven! Sole interdict of all-bedewing prayer,        &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspThe all-compassionate!        &nbsp       &nbspSave to the Lampads Seven Reveal'd to none of all th' Angelic State,        &nbsp       &nbspSave to the Lampads Seven,        &nbsp       &nbspThat watch the throne of Heaven!
