And that must end us, that must be our cure:
To be no more. Sad cure! For who would lose,

Devoid of sense and motion? — John Milton

Thus repulsed, our final hope
Is flat despair: we must exasperate
The Almighty Victor to spend all his rage;
And that must end us; that must be our cure,
To be no more. Sad cure! for who would lose,

Those thoughts that wander through eternity,
To perish rather, swallowed up and lost
In the wide womb of uncreated night,
Devoid of sense and motion? And who knows,

Can give it, or will ever? How he can
Is doubtful; that he never will is sure.
John Milton, Belial
