As it has been suggested that much of the misunderstanding of the former

we have thought it wise to tell the public what our aims are, and why we

XII
As once we saw the children of the Earth
Pile peak on peak to scale the starry sky,
And fight against the very gods on high,
While Jove to his lightning-bolts gave birth:
Then all in thunder, suddenly reversed,
The furious squadrons earthbound lie,
Heaven glorying, while Earth must sigh,
Jove gaining all the honour and the worth:
So were once seen, in this mortal space,
Rome's Seven Hills raising a haughty face,
Against the very
countenance
of Heaven:
While now we see the fields, shorn of honour,
Lament their ruin, and the gods secure,
Dreading no more, on high, that fearful leaven.

Pushkin - Talisman |
|
Then, Soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss,
And let that pine to
aggravate
thy store;
Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross;
Within be fed, without be rich no more:--
So shall thou feed on death, that feeds on men,
And death once dead, there's no more dying then.
