He
was
silent
for
so
long
that
I
was
surprised
,
the
more
so
as
he
grew
pale
to
the
lips
,
and
a
curious
,
almost
deathlike
rigidity
of
feature
gave
his
expression
something
of
the
ghastly
and
terrible
.
After
a
pause
he
turned
his
eyes
upon
me
--
an
intense
burning
misery
was
reflected
in
them
,
though
he
smiled
.
"
Most
assuredly
I
believe
in
hell
!
How
can
I
do
otherwise
if
I
believe
in
heaven
?
If
there
is
an
Up
there
must
be
a
Down
;
if
there
is
Light
,
there
must
also
be
Darkness
!
And
,
...
concerning
the
Arch-Enemy
of
mankind
--
if
half
the
stories
reported
of
him
be
true
,
he
must
be
the
most
piteous
and
pitiable
figure
in
the
Universe
!
What
would
be
the
sorrows
of
a
thousand
million
worlds
,
compared
to
the
sorrows
of
Satan
!
"
"
Sorrows
!
"
I
echoed
--
"
He
is
supposed
to
rejoice
in
the
working
of
evil
!
"
"
Neither
angel
nor
devil
can
do
that
,
"
--
he
said
slowly
--
"
To
rejoice
in
the
working
of
evil
is
a
temporary
mania
which
affects
man
only
.
For
actual
joy
to
come
out
of
evil
,
Chaos
must
come
again
,
and
God
must
extinguish
Himself
.
"
He
stared
across
the
dark
sea
--
the
sun
had
sunk
,
and
one
faint
star
twinkled
through
the
clouds
.
"
And
so
I
again
say
--
the
sorrows
of
Satan
!
Sorrows
immeasurable
as
eternity
itself
--
imagine
them
!
To
be
shut
out
of
Heaven
!
--
to
hear
all
through
the
unending
æons
,
the
far-off
voices
of
angels
whom
once
he
knew
and
loved
!
--
to
be
a
wanderer
among
deserts
of
darkness
,
and
to
pine
for
the
light
celestial
that
was
formerly
as
air
and
food
to
his
being
--
and
to
know
that
Man
's
folly
,
Man
's
utter
selfishness
,
Man
's
cruelty
,
keep
him
thus
exiled
,
an
outcast
from
pardon
and
peace
!
Man
's
nobleness
may
lift
the
Lost
Spirit
almost
within
reach
of
his
lost
joys
--
but
Man
's
vileness
drags
him
down
again
--
easy
was
the
torture
of
Sisyphus
compared
with
the
torture
of
Satan
!
No
wonder
that
he
loathes
Mankind
!
--
small
blame
to
him
if
he
seeks
to
destroy
the
puny
tribe
eternally
--
little
marvel
that
he
grudges
them
their
share
of
immortality
!
Think
of
it
as
a
legend
merely
,
"
--
and
he
turned
upon
me
with
a
movement
that
was
almost
fierce
--
"
Christ
redeemed
Man
--
and
by
his
teaching
,
showed
how
it
was
possible
for
Man
to
redeem
the
Devil
!
"
"
I
do
not
understand
you
--
"
I
said
feebly
,
awed
by
the
strange
pain
and
passion
of
his
tone
.
"
Do
you
not
?
Yet
my
meaning
is
scarcely
obscure
!
If
men
were
true
to
their
immortal
instincts
and
to
the
God
that
made
them
--
if
they
were
generous
,
honest
,
fearless
,
faithful
,
reverent
,
unselfish
,
...
if
women
were
pure
,
brave
,
tender
and
loving
--
can
you
not
imagine
that
in
the
strong
force
and
fairness
of
such
a
world
,
'
Lucifer
,
son
of
the
Morning
'
would
be
moved
to
love
instead
of
hate
?
--
that
the
closed
doors
of
Paradise
would
be
unbarred
--
and
that
he
,
lifted
towards
his
Creator
on
the
prayers
of
pure
lives
,
would
wear
again
his
Angel
's
crown
?
Can
you
not
realize
this
,
even
by
way
of
a
legendary
story
?
"
"
Why
yes
,
as
a
legendary
story
the
idea
is
beautiful
,
"
--
I
admitted
--
"
And
to
me
,
as
I
told
you
once
before
,
quite
new
.
Still
,
as
men
are
never
likely
to
be
honest
or
women
pure
,
I
'm
afraid
the
poor
devil
stands
a
bad
chance
of
ever
getting
redeemed
!
