Blind in Fire, with Shield and Spear, | Two horn'd reasoning cloven fictions, | In doubt which is self- contradiction, | A dark Hermaphrodite I stood, -- | Rational Truth, root of Evil & Good. | Round me flew the flaming sword; | Round her, snowy Whirlwinds roar'd, | Freezing her Veil, the mundane shell. | Blake's 'Key'."
