| QUOTATION: | The other shape, If shape it might be call’d that shape had none Distinguishable in member, joint, or limb; Or substance might be call’d that shadow seem’d, For each seem’d either,—black it stood as night, Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell, And shook a dreadful dart; what seem’d his head The likeness of a kingly crown had on. Satan was now at hand. |
