So Farewell Hope, And With Hope Farewell

And Grace That Won Who Saw To Wish Her Stay.

So Spake The Seraph Abdiel, Faithful Found; Among The Faithless, Faithful Only He.

Contemplation Is Wisdom's Best Nurse.

For Truth Is Strong Next To The Almighty. She Needs No Policies Or Stratagems Or Licensings To Make Her Victorious. These Are The Shifts And The Defences That Error Uses Against Her Power.

The Oracles Are Dumb, No Voice Or Hideous Hum Runs Thro' The Arched Roof In Words Deceiving.
