In the eastern porch of Satan's universe Milton stood & said:

»Satan, my spectre, I know my power thee to annihilate

And be a greater in thy place, & be thy tabernacle,

A covering for thee to do thy will – till one greater comes

And smites me as I smote thee, & becomes my covering.

Such are the laws of thy false heavens, but laws of Eternity

Are not such. Know thou, I come to self-annihilation.

Such are the laws of Eternity, that each shall mutually

Annihilate himself for other's good, as I for thee.

Thy purpose & the purpose of thy priests & of thy churches

Is to impress on men the fear of death; to teach

Trembling & fear, terror, constriction, abject selfishness.

Mine is to teach men to despise death, & to go on

In fearless majesty annihilating self, laughing to scorn

Thy laws & terrors, shaking down thy Synagogues as webs.

I come to discover before Heaven & Hell the self-righteousness

In all its hypocritic turpitude, opening to every eye

These wonders of Satan's holiness, showing to the earth

The idol-virtues of the natural heart, & Satan's seat

Explore, in all its selfish natural virtue, & put off

In self-annihilation all that is not of God alone:

To put off self & all I have, ever & ever. Amen.«
