For this is, indeed, what we call chaos, that abyss filled
with darkness and abortive light, rumblings of thunder
and traces of the first sound.
It is here that Satan, firstborn of the virgin Lileth, wheels
about.
Darkness preceded the light, and hell, heaven.
And if man wishes to understand the heart of things,
he must dare to lean over and gaze into this very
abyss.....
