druuna

And because of the invincible power which is in her,
her thought did not remain idle,
and something came out of her which was imperfect and different from her appearance,
because she had created it without her consort.
And it was dissimilar to the likeness of its mother,
for it has another form.

Out of the blue

Within that heaven which most his light receives
Was I, and things beheld which to repeat
Nor knows, nor can, who from above descends;

Because in drawing near to its desire
Our intellect ingulphs itself so far,
That after it the memory cannot go.

Truly whatever of the holy realm
I had the power to treasure in my mind
Shall now become the subject of my song.

The Art of 9000

.

Who guided you?

or who has been your lamp

In issuing forth out of the night profound,

That ever black makes the infernal valley?

The laws of the abyss, are they thus broken?

Or is there changed in heaven some council new

Then answered him: "I came not of myself; A Lady from Heaven descended, at whose prayers I aided this one with my company.

Sometimes forever

The ancient tradition that the world will be consumed in fire at the end of six thousand years is true, as I have heard from Hell.

 

For the cherub with his flaming sword is hereby commanded to leave his guard at the tree of life, and when he does, the whole creation will be consumed and appear infinite and holy whereas it now appears finite & corrupt. 

 This will come to pass by an improvement of sensual enjoyment. But first the notion that man has a body distinct from his soul is to be expunged; this I shall do, by printing in the infernal method, by corrosives, which in Hell are salutary and medicinal, melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite which was hidden.
