Description
If you ever have any reason (can't imagine anyone doing it of free will ) to read Paradise Lost apparently Lucifer has a crush on Eve, and does a lot of debating with himself as to if he really wants to be evil This is a dream he sends her"Angelic, but more soft, and feminine,
Her graceful innocence, her every air
Of gesture or least action overawed
His malice, and with rapine sweet bereaved
His fiercesness of the fierce intent it brought:
That space the Evil One abstracted stood
From his own evil, and for the time remained
Stupidl good, of enmity disarmed,
Of guile, of hate, of envy, of revenge;
But the hot hell that always in him burns,
Though in mid-Heav'n, soon ended his delight,
And tortures him now more, the more he sees
Of pleasure not for him ordained: then soon
Fierce hate he recollects, and all his thoughts
Of mischief gratulating, thus excites:
' Thoughts, whither have ye led me, with what sweet
Compulsion thus transported to forget
What hither brought us, hate, not love, nore hope
Of Paradise for Hell, hope here to taste
Of pleasure, but all pleasure to destroy,
Save what is in destroying, other joy
To me is lost.
-Paradise Lost
