The Mortal Instruments

I have not slept.
Between the acting of a dreadful thing
And the first motion, all the interim is
Like a phantasm, or a hideous dream:
The Genius and the mortal instruments
Are then in council; and the state of man, 
Like to a little kingdom, suffer then
The nature of an insurrection.

William Shakepespeare, Julius Caesar


I sang of Chaos and Eternal Night, 
Taught by the hev'nly Muse to venture down
The dark descent, and up to a reascend...

John Milton, Paradise Lost
