And thus thou seekest to oppose
The genial power, from which all life and motion flows,
Against Existence’ universal chain,
Clenching thy icy devil’s fist in vain!
Try some more profitable feats,
Strange son of Chaos, full of cross conceits.
Mephistopheles.
The hint is good, and on occasion,
May well deserve consideration;
Meanwhile, with your good leave, I would withdraw.
