Paradise Lost

Let's start at the very beginning...

Paradise Lost by John Milton
"Had cast him out from Heav'n with all his host
Of Rebel Angels, by whose aid aspiring
To set himself in Glory above his Peers,
He trusted to have equal'd the most High,
If he oppos'd; and with ambitious aim
Against the Throne and Monarchy of God
Rais'd impious War in Heav'n and Battel proud"

"round he throws his baleful eyes
that witness'd huge affliction and dismay
Mixt with obdurate pride and steadfast hate"
