“If I am thus fortuned to bear heaven’s hatred, let me at least have it in full measure. Let no wrath be spared, but my contentious spirit be renowned for its audacity, and at last die to no mortal spear, but let God’s own bolt foil my ambition, be my life’s end, and send a kindled spirit to Akheron’s crossing still afire.”
Uhh... is it bad to quote oneself?
