- Attacks the shades and drives them in its might...
- It sweeps them here and there, now high, now low,
- And never hope consoles them of a day
- When they shall rest or feel les poignant woe.

- And make a line of blackness in the air,
- Of wailing shades I saw a great array
- Borne onward by the wind, they knew not where.

- And where hell is, there must we ever be.

Merely projections. There is nothing to escape from
And nothing to escape to. One is always alone.

- Think'st thou that I saw the face of God
- And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
- Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
- In being deprived of everlasting bliss?
Each of us bears his own Hell.
Better to reign in hell, than serve in heav'n.
E'en hell hath its peculiar laws.
- Let none admire
- That riches grow in Hell; that soil may best
- Deserve they precious bane.
