In Love's Paradise

A damn fool, heavenly muse, rising out of chaos, with loss of Eden its exorbitant price! Nothing pure and upright, no aid to my adventurous song, inspire disobedience! What is mine is in darkness, illuminates indifference! It asserts its rightful place in the heart of beloved, all your woe and curses thrown on the forbidden tree! And that shepherd who ate his lamb to get into heaven's back door, unseen, satiated by the Siloa's Brook where angels go fly fishing giggling by the sight of the shepherd waving at them, that man's first disobedience, lured by the taste of passion in the air.
