“I was with my king
In the heavens
When Lucifer fell
Into the deepest hell.”

—  Taliesin

The Tale of Taleisin
Context: I was with my king
In the heavens
When Lucifer fell
Into the deepest hell.
I carried the banner
Before Alexander.
I know the names of the stars
From the North to the South.

At Heaven we tilt, then suddenly we fell,
Watry Foundations sinking low as Hell.”

To north, or southward, there it lies:
So man departs to heaven or hell,
Fix'd in the state wherein he dies.”

The Everlasting Gospel (c. 1818)
Context: The vision of Christ that thou dost see
Is my vision's greatest enemy.
Thine has a great hook nose like thine;
Mine has a snub nose like to mine.
Thine is the Friend of all Mankind;
Mine speaks in parables to the blind.
Thine loves the same world that mine hates;
Thy heaven doors are my hell gates.

“Mankind, from Adam, have been women's fools;
Women, from Eve, have been the devil's tools:
Heaven might have spar'd one torment when we fell;
Not left us women, or not threatened hell.”
