16. Повержены, гибнут, бегут! Погребены под руинами, тонут в пещерах Уртоны;
17. Вся тьма под руинами; их зловещее пламя угасло, стоят вкруг поблекшего короля.
18. В огне и грохоте, выводя свое звездное воинство опустошенной землей, отдает свои десять приказов, сверкая очами над бездной в страхе кромешном.
19. Где с востока сын пламени в облаке светлом, пока утро чистит перья златые свои,
20. Испещренные проклятьями тучи рвет в клочья, во прах топчет скрижали закона, вечных коней выпуская из логова тьмы, провозглашая:
ИМПЕРИИ БОЛЬШЕ НЕТ!
Хор:
Нет боле ни хриплых проклятий черных Священников Врана зари сыновьям наслажденья! Ни его многочисленной братии, кою нарек он свободною - вервье вязать и своды возвесть. Ни жалких церковных запретов, именующих девственными тех, кто возжелал и не сделал!
ИБО ВСЕ ЖИВОЕ СВЯЩЕННО!
THE MARRIAGE of HEAVEN and HELL
The Argument.
Rintrah roars shakes his fires in the Hungry clouds swag on the deep
Once meek, and in a perilous path, The just man kept his course along The vale of death. Roses are planted where thorns grow. And on the barren heath Sing the honey bees.
Then the perilous path was planted: And a river, and a spring On every cliff and tomb; And on the bleached bones Red clay brought forth.
Till the villain left the paths of ease, To walk in perilous paths, and drive The just man into barren climes.
Now the sneaking serpent walks In mild humility. And the just man rages in the wilds Where lions roam.
Rintrah roars shakes his fires in the Hungry clouds swag on the deep. ____________________________________________
As a new heaven is begun, and it is now thirty-three years since its advent: the Eternal Hell revives. And lo! Swedenborg is the Angel sitting at the tomb; his writings are the linen clothes folded up. Now is the dominion of Edom, the return of Adam into Paradise; see Isaiah XXXIV XXXV Chap: Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence. From these contraries spring what the religious call Good Evil. Good is the passive that obeys Reason[.] Evil is the active springing from Energy. Good is Heaven. Evil is Hell.
