I paced up and down Charlie's house looking for clues about how I died. I could not remember the last few years of my life, and without those memories, I was surely doomed to an eternity as a ghostly vagabond. I only had a name to go on: Edward Cullen. Unfortunately, I could not remember who this Edward Cullen was, and I had no way to contact him. I had met a boy, another ghost, E. Masen, who was willing to help me if I helped him regain his memories, but neither us really knew where to start.

send me an ask with the first sentence of a fanfic & i’ll write the next five

(or we can cheat and you send me multiple sentences & i’ll write multiple paragraphs... hehe)

I’d never given much thought to how I would die, though now that I had done exactly that, I’d wished I had been more fearful or creative enough to have  considered the possibilities. Maybe then I’d now have some theories to lead me in the right direction. The thought of being dead would have sent a shiver through me, but I was disoriented to realize that the feeling was all wrong. I didn’t have a tangible enough body in which to tremble at the disconcerting truth of what I’d become. The inclination to shake the unsettling feeling had been stuck within me with no relief of release, just as I had been stuck here with hardly any guidance.

A very small part of me felt faintly satisfied that there was an afterlife. I had never been completely confident that there would be. I wasn’t certain of the reason why, but I felt as though the fact that there was had proved me right about some ongoing disagreement on the final destination of our souls.

However, as I meandered through the quaint, old house of my father, I found myself growing more and more distraught. I didn’t mourn my death. I mourned the thought of my poor parents and how the loss of me would affect their lives. My scatter-brained, free spirited mother Renée... this would break her fragile heart. I knew I was missing a significant chunk of time, but from the last of what I could remember, she had recently become prematurely serious with some rookie baseball player named Phill. Although I of course reserved some concern about that relationship, the fact comforted me slightly. At least someone would be there to wipe away her tears and ensure the details of her life were responsibly handled. She required a lot of care, but she was also very strong. I knew she’d survive her grief.

The empty hole of what I had recognized as the place I would expect my heart to be ached when I thought of my dad. Charlie! Could a dead heart break? It seemed as if mine would. I could no longer look at the crinkly-eyed smile of his that made him appear so much younger in the photos framed on the lightly-colored walls. From what I could recall, I hadn’t spent as much time with him as I should have in recent years. Once I had been old enough to protest coming to this drizzly, detestably overcast town for my summers, we spent two weeks vacationing together in California every year instead. Suddenly, I felt very selfish and horribly guilty.

Despite my recollection, it felt as if we’d been closer recently... as if we spent more time together than I could remember... He had lived on his own for so many years, and yet, I worried for him. Something told me that his care for himself was not satisfactory enough for my standards. But like my mother, he was a strong individual. I trusted he could continue his work as Chief of Police, tend to the house, pay the bills, and feed himself. I hoped he could at least boil some spaghetti. My death would not destroy them both.

I drifted up the familiar wooden stairs, longing for the weight of my old body, wishing I could have some influence on the human world. I concentrated very intensely and was pleasantly shocked when I effected a subtle creak in one of the steps. It required a great amount of energy – far more than I would have thought – but I wasn’t entirely without tangibility in this new form. I could live with this.

When I arrived at my old room from my childhood, I expected it to be unchanged. To my surprise, despite the yellowed, scalloped curtains lining the windows and the peaked ceiling, there were differences. A bed had replaced my crib, and there was the addition of a desk. Those changes I expected as they had been made in the recent years of my tainted memory. The inclusions of an ancient, secondhand computer and phone, I didn’t expect. But what I found the most peculiar were the personal touches around the room – a pile of books I loved beside the bed, a stack of CDs I had been given scattered next to an inexpensive CD player on the desk. Piles of papers sat next to the computer, and some shoes I recognized lined the wall against the door. And there were photos – photos taped to the walls of teenagers I hadn’t seen before. I must have been here recently.

Though I was the ghost in the house, I felt frightened.

As I studied the objects decorating the room, I found nothing that provided me with any further hints in my investigation. It seemed I was just unravelling more mysteries, like why were all the plastic CD cases empty of discs? Where did the intricate, wooden dreamcatcher hanging from the headboard come from? When had I last come here and for how long had I stayed?

Just as I was about to give in to my frustration and take a break to go to pieces, I heard another creak in the wooden floor beneath me. I was sure I had been the one to sound the noise, but it hadn’t required any effort to exert the pressure for causation. I held still. I wasn’t entirely convinced of where the inclination came from, but I felt pulled to the floorboards.

There was some bizarre, compelling energy emanating from below the place my feet should be.

I dropped to the warmly-colored wood, and found that my diaphanous form could reach beneath. With strenuous focus, I began to feel I could make contact with a thick, papery-edge. With one last strain of force, I pushed upwards, revealing the materialization of a slightly dusty and weathered but glossy, folded over photo print.

The girl in the picture’s wide eyes were even wider in shock as if she’d been caught off guard, the hint of a pucker between her brows implying maybe she’d been displeased that day. Her face was heart-shaped, her pink lips slightly too full, and her brunette hair long and straight. It was a photo of me, though a few years older.

I traced along the hard edge of the fold with a transpicuous finger, locked on my own eyes in the photo.

Then, I reached for the half that was creased back, pulling the other half of the image into view for examination.

With great astonishment, an electric current shot through me as I realized I recognized the other face in the photo.

It was the face of the other soul I had met, the ghost boy, E. Masen.

A Black Reporter Summarizes Barack

By David John Markarian

The below summarization of Barack and Michelle Obama’s 5 year reign in the White House is by far the best I’ve ever read as it squarely hits the nail on the head. And it took a black reporter writing it to make it as effective as it is. A white man’s account would be instantly criticized by the liberal media as pure racism. But, how can anyone scream Racist when an exacting description of the Obamas is penned by a well known journalist of color?

BEST SUMMATION OF BARACK AND MICHELLE EVER!

Mychal Massie is a respected writer and talk show host in Los Angeles.

The other evening on my twitter, a person asked me why I didn't like the Obama's? Specifically I was asked: "I have to ask, why do you hate the Obama's? It seems personal, not policy related. You even dissed (disrespect) their Christmas family picture."

The truth is I do not like the Obamas, what they represent, their ideology, and I certainly do not like his policies and legislation. I've made no secret of my contempt for the Obamas. As I responded to the person who asked me the aforementioned question, I don't like them because they are committed to the fundamental change of my/our country into what can only be regarded as a Communist state.

I don't hate them per definition, but I condemn them because they are the worst kind of racialists, they are elitist Leninists with contempt for traditional America. They display disrespect for the sanctity of the office he holds, and for those who are willing to admit same, Michelle Obama's raw contempt for white America is transpicuous. I don't like them because they comport themselves as emperor and empress.

I expect, no I demand respect, for the Office of President and a love of our country and her citizenry from the leader entrusted with the governance of same. President and Mrs. Reagan displayed an unparalleled love for the country and her people.

The Reagan's made Americans feel good about themselves and about what we could accomplish. Obama's arrogance by appointing 32 leftist czars and constantly bypassing congress is impeachable. Eric Holder is probably the MOST incompetent and arrogant DOJ head to ever hold the job. Could you envision President Reagan instructing his Justice Department to act like jack-booted thugs?

Presidents are politicians and all politicians are known and pretty much expected to manipulate the truth, if not outright lie, but even using that low standard, the Obama's have taken lies, dishonesty, deceit, mendacity, subterfuge and obfuscation to new depths. They are verbally abusive to the citizenry, and they display an animus for civility.

I do not like them, because they both display bigotry overtly, as in the case of Harvard Professor Louis Gates, when he accused the Cambridge Police of acting stupidly, and her code speak pursuant to not being able to be proud of America. I view that statement and that mindset as an insult to those who died to provide a country where a Kenyan, his illegal alien relatives, and his alleged progeny, could come and not only live freely, but rise to the highest, most powerful, position in the world.

Michelle Obama is free to hate and disparage whites because Americans of every description paid with their blood to ensure her right to do same. I have a saying, that "the only reason a person hides things, is because they have something to hide." No president in history has spent millions of dollars to keep his records and his past sealed.

And what the two of them have shared has been proved to be lies. He lied about when and how they met, he lied about his mother's death and problems with insurance, Michelle lied to a crowd pursuant to nearly $500,000 bank stocks they inherited from his family. He has lied about his father's military service, about the civil rights movement, ad nausea. He lied to the world about the Supreme Court in a State of the Union address. He berated and publicly insulted a sitting Congressman. He has surrounded himself with the most rabidly, radical, socialist academicians today.

He opposed rulings that protected women and children that even Planned Parenthood did not seek to support. He is openly hostile to business and aggressively hostile to Israel. His wife treats being the First Lady as her personal American Express Black Card (arguably the most prestigious credit card in the world). I condemn them because, as people are suffering, losing their homes, their jobs, their retirements, he and his family are arrogantly showing off their life of entitlement - as he goes about creating and fomenting class warfare.

I don't like them, and I neither apologize nor retreat from my public condemnation of them and of his policies. We should condemn them for the disrespect they show our people, for his willful and unconstitutional actions pursuant to obeying the Constitutional parameters he is bound by, and his willful disregard for Congressional authority.

Dislike for them has nothing to do with the color of their skin; it has everything to do with their behavior, attitudes, and policies. And I have open scorn for their constantly playing the race card.

I could go on, but let me conclude with this. I condemn in the strongest possible terms the media for refusing to investigate them, as they did President Bush and President Clinton, and for refusing to label them for what they truly are. There is no scenario known to man, whereby a white president and his wife could ignore laws, flaunt their position, and lord over the people, as these two are permitted out of fear for their color.

As I wrote in a syndicated column titled, "Nero In The White House" - "Never in my life, inside or outside of politics, have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political leader. He is the most mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed. Even by the low standards of his presidential predecessors, his narcissistic, contumacious arrogance is unequalled. Using Obama as the bar, Nero would have to be elevated to sainthood...

Many in America wanted to be proud when the first person of color was elected president, but instead, they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation, and a commonality hitherto not witnessed in political leaders. He and his wife view their life at our expense as an entitlement - while America's people go homeless, hungry and unemployed."

Reviews & Press album TRANSPICUOUS by Marcel Barsotti LC 57244

EAN 4251439122849

April 2019

IAN D. THOMAS (Ex copyreader from Film Score Monthly, sound designer/composer)

"With ‘Transpicuous’, Marcel Barsotti foregoes his lush orchestral scores of yesteryear and embarks on a new, all-electronic path. With a clear nod to Tangerine Dream, Barsotti’s compositions excite the imagination with their evolving, texturally layered tones & surprising twists and turns. Hollywood would be wise to take notice of this great talent..."

"Mit dem Album Transpicuous verzichtet Marcel Barsotti auf seine üppigen, melodischen Orchestermusiken vergangener Jahre und begibt sich auf einen völlig neuen und elektronischen Weg der Filmmusik. Mit Anspielungen auf Tangerine Dream oder Daft Punk begeistern Barsotti‘s Kompositionen mit ihren sich entwickelnden, sequenzerhaften Tönen und überraschenden Wendungen. Hollywood wäre klug, auf dieses große Talent aufmerksam zu machen. "

CINEMA WORLD

“Marcel Barsotti created with his first album Transpicous a really interesting and versatile sound concept, which will definitely fascinate fans of electronic music.”

„Marcel Barsotti schuf mit seinem ersten Album Transpicous ein wirklich interessantes und vielseitiges Klangkonzept, für das sich die Fans der elektronischen Musik bestimmt begeistern lassen.“

CINEMA MUSICA review

“I was introduced to Marcel Barsotti's music with his poetic and emotional score to the movie

Dolphins. Ever since then, I have associated the name Barsotti primarily with dramatic orchestral music, which is why I was all the more surprised when I listened to his new work Transpicuous. This is not film music, although it could easily pass at that, but an electronic concept album. Transpicuous shows quite clearly that Barsotti has roots in electronic music, as well. The opening sequence of the opener Robotronic slightly suggests a bit of Giorgio Moroder. The track is driven by arrangements that are pulsating and catchy. With Life Bird, you almost feel transported to the world of sounds in Blade Runner 2049. The title track Transpicuous is truly magical, simultaneously modern and retro. Being a fan of Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Vangelis, listening to Barsotti's new Transpicuous was sheer pleasure. He has a distinct and powerful musical signature. Listening repeatedly, what you discover are intricate details within the interweaving electronic arrangements, pulsating sounds, hypnotic beats, and melodies. To those of you who like electronic soundtracks, I can highly recommend Transpicuous. I hope this was not his last album in this style. "

„Kennengelernt habe ich die Musik von Marcel Barsotti durch seinen poetischen und feinfühligen Score zu Dolphins. Seitdem verbinde ich den Namen Barsotti eigentlich überwiegend mit ausdrucksstarker orchestraler Musik. Umso überraschter war ich, nachdem ich sein neues Werk Transpicuous gehört habe. Es handelt sich hierbei nicht um Filmmusik, sondern um ein elektronisches Konzeptalbum. Die Musik könnte aber ohne weiteres als Filmmusik durchgehen. Transpicuous zeigt sehr deutlich, dass Barsotti‘s musikalische Wurzeln auch in der elektronischen Musik liegen. Die Anfangssequenz des Openers Robotronic erinnert etwas an Giorgio Moroder. Der Track wird durch eingängige und pulsierende Sequenzen vorangetrieben. Bei Life Bird hat man schon fast das Gefühl, sich in der Soundwelt von Blade Runner 2049 zu befinden. Der Titeltrack Transpicuous ist sehr mystisch, modern und Retro zugleich. Als Fan der Musik von Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre und Vangelis war für mich das Hören von Barsotti‘s neuem Werk Transpicuous eine einzige Freude. Barsotti hat eine ganz eigene und sehr intensive musikalische Handschrift. Man entdeckt in den verwebten elektronischen Sequenzen, den pulsierenden Sounds, den hypnotischen Beats und den Melodien immer wieder neue Details beim mehrmaligen Anhören.

Wer elektronische Soundtracks mag, dem kann ich Transpicuous auf alle Fälle ans Herz legen. Fazit: Ich hoffe, dass dies nicht sein letztes Album in diesem Still war.

RADIO ZOOM

“With his debut album Transpicous, Marcel Barsotti has taken a multifaceted path of electronic music, on which he knows how to surprise.“

„Mit seinem Debütalbum Transpicous ist Marcel Barsotti einen sehr facettenreichen Weg der elektronischen Musik eingegangen, in dem er durchaus zu überraschen weiß.“

[MS] The pill

A family sat at a round kitchen table awaiting their meals to be served by the servants. This family was neither rich nor poor and consisted of four members; a father, a mother, a son, and a daughter who've been birthed recently. "How's school been?" the mother said to the son. The son replied with pleasure and tried to please his father with his accomplishments but the father simply looked passed his son, to the wall which had a new portrait that the servants had hung about almost a year and a half ago. The portrait was of the family in their best attire as the background was a dark hue which made it appear sinister. "What's wrong?" the mother asked. There was a brief silence and then father mutter "nothing" without ever breaking eye contact from the painting. He knew something was off with that portrait, but he didn't have an explanation why. Maybe, from where he was sitting at made the painting distorted he assumed but, he will always reject that idea since it would always look wrong, despite where he stood or what angle he gazed on it. The servants came out of the kitchen with a silver dome over the food. Once they set it down before each member, they began to show the food they've requested. Before they could eat, they first had to eat this pill that was issued to them from so long ago. Each member swallowed the pill and began their meal except for the father who only stared at the pill with bewildered eyes. "Aren't you going to take the pill papa." the son asked after he swallowed his pill. What exactly do we need this pill for? He wondered. "Silly father, you know you have to take the pill in order to keep living right?" Oh yeah that's right but... when exactly did I start taking these pills? And how come, my pill is a different color then everybody else's pill? The son sighed and got up from his chair. He walked towards the father. Why are we taking these pills for anyways? How come, nobody here ever questioned its purpose. Will something terrible happen if I don't eat it before the hand Strikes twelve? What will happen, then... will anything happen? The son picked up his father's pills and began to put it near his mouth, but the father grabbed his son's arms with a strong force and pushed it away from him. "I don't want to eat it!" the father yelled. Everybody was in shock. " father you need this pill or else you will become miserable." The father looked around the kitchen table to see his wife's upset face as she cradled the now crying toddler. Out of guilt, he took the pill from his sons hand and observed it. " it's for your own good." The mother responded. The pill inches closer to the father lips, but the closer it got the more anguish he became. He put the pill in his mouth and the mother and son's response became relieved. "Was that so hard father?" the son says. The father locked his eyes with his son for the first time and the son can see the rage that laid within him. He spat his pill out towards his son's face. "I don't want to eat this pill! I must know what will happen!" the son picks up the pill hastily and battles his father onto the floor. "You must!" he screams. The father fought back even though his son was more powerful than he was. He tilted his head towards the portrait and realized the painting became more distorted every passing second, which gave the father the strength to overpower his son. He ran towards the portrait and began to laugh hysterically as the painting presumed to show a twisted hallucinogenic scene that can only be found in someone's worst nightmares. The second hand on the clock began to tick louder when it started itching closer to twelve, but this didn't bother the father's curiosity and his pleas for rationality. A sudden silence fell over the family when The old fashioned clock rang, which the father knew he was free and he looked back to his son who was on the marble floor. The son wiped his now bloody lip and says in a soft and concerned voice, " we were only trying to protect you." And in that instant the father knew the deed he committed. His son became transparent and the father extended his hand out to the son for the first time where he has shown sincerity but the connection their newly found bound was short lived when the son vanished. The father looked at his wife who was covering her mouth as her other hand held the toddler who was screaming. The father went towards the wife and grabbed the child before she fell on the floor. "This hurts so much," she cried. "Why couldn't you have taken the pill." she slowly grown transpicuous. " Because, I had to see the truth." The wife's eyes widen in fear then she closes them, so she doesn't have to show the pain and disappointment she felt at that moment. She vanished into thin air when her tears began to fall from her chin. The father cradled the baby who was in a small thin blue blanket and turned back to the portrait which was now only a plain folded piece of paper that is taped loosely on the white wall. He walked somewhat slowly towards it because he was terrified to see it but, at the same time he was eager. After he hesitated to take his last step, he traced his index finger behind the paper and set his thumb on the paper and peeled off the paper off the wall slowly. Once it was off the wall he examined the folded paper and started to open it until he saw what it contained inside; There were words that seemed to have been written hurriedly on a Typewriter. He read the contents of that letter and when he read that last sentence his jaw dropped open as his hands began to tremble. "No...this can't be." tears began to flow out his eyes. He looked down to his arms to realize his precious daughter was no longer there and shortly a strong throbbing sensation in his head began to deteriorate the way he's perceived things. One moment he would see them huddled around laughing, and the next moment he would see himself alone in that depressing room. He was going mad, and he knew that. He at first hit his head with the palm of his hands but he kept on remembering so he then resorted to banging his head against the wall but all that did was with a worsen the splitting headache. He fell onto his side and presumed the unwanted memories but, he saw that there was something he didn't notice in the room. Where the kitchen was supposed to be was replaced by a somewhat large porcelain bowl located in the middle of the room that was under white fluorescent lights. He pushed himself up and began to stumble towards it but he kept on falling out of revelation and fear. He instead began to crawl as memories of the accident flooded his head.the sounds of screeching tires was the only thing that kept him from passing out from the horror he felt. He reached to the bowl and found thousands of those pills in the bowl. With shaky hands, he managed to pick a singular pill and examined its vibrant turquoise color. He began to put the pill near his mouth but stopped when it touched his lips I've already seen what I longed for but now I am thinking should I eat it. If I don't eat this pill I would only be stuck here in this desolate place stuck with my thoughts. But... if I do eat this pill I will be reunited with my family and be loved by them but I will always know that deep inside that they are not real.

The Angel ended, and in Adam's ear So charming left his voice, that he a while Thought him still speaking, still stood fixed to hear; Then, as new waked, thus gratefully replied. What thanks sufficient, or what recompence Equal, have I to render thee, divine Historian, who thus largely hast allayed The thirst I had of knowledge, and vouchsafed This friendly condescension to relate Things, else by me unsearchable; now heard With wonder, but delight, and, as is due, With glory attributed to the high Creator!  Something yet of doubt remains, Which only thy solution can resolve. When I behold this goodly frame, this world, Of Heaven and Earth consisting; and compute Their magnitudes; this Earth, a spot, a grain, An atom, with the firmament compared And all her numbered stars, that seem to roll Spaces incomprehensible, (for such Their distance argues, and their swift return Diurnal,) merely to officiate light Round this opacous Earth, this punctual spot, One day and night; in all her vast survey Useless besides; reasoning I oft admire, How Nature wise and frugal could commit Such disproportions, with superfluous hand So many nobler bodies to create, Greater so manifold, to this one use, For aught appears, and on their orbs impose Such restless revolution day by day Repeated; while the sedentary Earth, That better might with far less compass move, Served by more noble than herself, attains Her end without least motion, and receives, As tribute, such a sumless journey brought Of incorporeal speed, her warmth and light; Speed, to describe whose swiftness number fails. So spake our sire, and by his countenance seemed Entering on studious thoughts abstruse; which Eve Perceiving, where she sat retired in sight, With lowliness majestick from her seat, And grace that won who saw to wish her stay, Rose, and went forth among her fruits and flowers, To visit how they prospered, bud and bloom, Her nursery; they at her coming sprung, And, touched by her fair tendance, gladlier grew. Yet went she not, as not with such discourse Delighted, or not capable her ear Of what was high: such pleasure she reserved, Adam relating, she sole auditress; Her husband the relater she preferred Before the Angel, and of him to ask Chose rather; he, she knew, would intermix Grateful digressions, and solve high dispute With conjugal caresses: from his lip Not words alone pleased her.  O! when meet now Such pairs, in love and mutual honour joined? With Goddess-like demeanour forth she went, Not unattended; for on her, as Queen, A pomp of winning Graces waited still, And from about her shot darts of desire Into all eyes, to wish her still in sight. And Raphael now, to Adam's doubt proposed, Benevolent and facile thus replied. To ask or search, I blame thee not; for Heaven Is as the book of God before thee set, Wherein to read his wonderous works, and learn His seasons, hours, or days, or months, or years: This to attain, whether Heaven move or Earth, Imports not, if thou reckon right; the rest From Man or Angel the great Architect Did wisely to conceal, and not divulge His secrets to be scanned by them who ought Rather admire; or, if they list to try Conjecture, he his fabrick of the Heavens Hath left to their disputes, perhaps to move His laughter at their quaint opinions wide Hereafter; when they come to model Heaven And calculate the stars, how they will wield The mighty frame; how build, unbuild, contrive To save appearances; how gird the sphere With centrick and eccentrick scribbled o'er, Cycle and epicycle, orb in orb: Already by thy reasoning this I guess, Who art to lead thy offspring, and supposest That bodies bright and greater should not serve The less not bright, nor Heaven such journeys run, Earth sitting still, when she alone receives The benefit:  Consider first, that great Or bright infers not excellence: the Earth Though, in comparison of Heaven, so small, Nor glistering, may of solid good contain More plenty than the sun that barren shines; Whose virtue on itself works no effect, But in the fruitful Earth; there first received, His beams, unactive else, their vigour find. Yet not to Earth are those bright luminaries Officious; but to thee, Earth's habitant. And for the Heaven's wide circuit, let it speak The Maker's high magnificence, who built So spacious, and his line stretched out so far; That Man may know he dwells not in his own; An edifice too large for him to fill, Lodged in a small partition; and the rest Ordained for uses to his Lord best known. The swiftness of those circles attribute, Though numberless, to his Omnipotence, That to corporeal substances could add Speed almost spiritual:  Me thou thinkest not slow, Who since the morning-hour set out from Heaven Where God resides, and ere mid-day arrived In Eden; distance inexpressible By numbers that have name.  But this I urge, Admitting motion in the Heavens, to show Invalid that which thee to doubt it moved; Not that I so affirm, though so it seem To thee who hast thy dwelling here on Earth. God, to remove his ways from human sense, Placed Heaven from Earth so far, that earthly sight, If it presume, might err in things too high, And no advantage gain.  What if the sun Be center to the world; and other stars, By his attractive virtue and their own Incited, dance about him various rounds? Their wandering course now high, now low, then hid, Progressive, retrograde, or standing still, In six thou seest; and what if seventh to these The planet earth, so stedfast though she seem, Insensibly three different motions move? Which else to several spheres thou must ascribe, Moved contrary with thwart obliquities; Or save the sun his labour, and that swift Nocturnal and diurnal rhomb supposed, Invisible else above all stars, the wheel Of day and night; which needs not thy belief, If earth, industrious of herself, fetch day Travelling east, and with her part averse From the sun's beam meet night, her other part Still luminous by his ray.  What if that light, Sent from her through the wide transpicuous air, To the terrestrial moon be as a star, Enlightening her by day, as she by night This earth? reciprocal, if land be there, Fields and inhabitants:  Her spots thou seest As clouds, and clouds may rain, and rain produce Fruits in her softened soil for some to eat Allotted there; and other suns perhaps, With their attendant moons, thou wilt descry, Communicating male and female light; Which two great sexes animate the world, Stored in each orb perhaps with some that live. For such vast room in Nature unpossessed By living soul, desart and desolate, Only to shine, yet scarce to contribute Each orb a glimpse of light, conveyed so far Down to this habitable, which returns Light back to them, is obvious to dispute. But whether thus these things, or whether not; But whether the sun, predominant in Heaven, Rise on the earth; or earth rise on the sun; He from the east his flaming road begin; Or she from west her silent course advance, With inoffensive pace that spinning sleeps On her soft axle, while she paces even, And bears thee soft with the smooth hair along; Sollicit not thy thoughts with matters hid; Leave them to God above; him serve, and fear! Of other creatures, as him pleases best, Wherever placed, let him dispose; joy thou In what he gives to thee, this Paradise And thy fair Eve; Heaven is for thee too high To know what passes there; be lowly wise: Think only what concerns thee, and thy being; Dream not of other worlds, what creatures there Live, in what state, condition, or degree; Contented that thus far hath been revealed Not of Earth only, but of highest Heaven. To whom thus Adam, cleared of doubt, replied. How fully hast thou satisfied me, pure Intelligence of Heaven, Angel serene! And, freed from intricacies, taught to live The easiest way; nor with perplexing thoughts To interrupt the sweet of life, from which God hath bid dwell far off all anxious cares, And not molest us; unless we ourselves Seek them with wandering thoughts, and notions vain. But apt the mind or fancy is to rove Unchecked, and of her roving is no end; Till warned, or by experience taught, she learn, That, not to know at large of things remote From use, obscure and subtle; but, to know That which before us lies in daily life, Is the prime wisdom:  What is more, is fume, Or emptiness, or fond impertinence: And renders us, in things that most concern, Unpractised, unprepared, and still to seek. Therefore from this high pitch let us descend A lower flight, and speak of things at hand Useful; whence, haply, mention may arise Of something not unseasonable to ask, By sufferance, and thy wonted favour, deigned. Thee I have heard relating what was done Ere my remembrance: now, hear me relate My story, which perhaps thou hast not heard; And day is not yet spent; till then thou seest How subtly to detain thee I devise; Inviting thee to hear while I relate; Fond! were it not in hope of thy reply: For, while I sit with thee, I seem in Heaven; And sweeter thy discourse is to my ear Than fruits of palm-tree pleasantest to thirst And hunger both, from labour, at the hour Of sweet repast; they satiate, and soon fill, Though pleasant; but thy words, with grace divine Imbued, bring to their sweetness no satiety. To whom thus Raphael answered heavenly meek. Nor are thy lips ungraceful, Sire of men, Nor tongue ineloquent; for God on thee Abundantly his gifts hath also poured Inward and outward both, his image fair: Speaking, or mute, all comeliness and grace Attends thee; and each word, each motion, forms; Nor less think we in Heaven of thee on Earth Than of our fellow-servant, and inquire Gladly into the ways of God with Man: For God, we see, hath honoured thee, and set On Man his equal love:  Say therefore on; For I that day was absent, as befel, Bound on a voyage uncouth and obscure, Far on excursion toward the gates of Hell; Squared in full legion (such command we had) To see that none thence issued forth a spy, Or enemy, while God was in his work; Lest he, incensed at such eruption bold, Destruction with creation might have mixed. Not that they durst without his leave attempt; But us he sends upon his high behests For state, as Sovran King; and to inure Our prompt obedience.  Fast we found, fast shut, The dismal gates, and barricadoed strong; But long ere our approaching heard within Noise, other than the sound of dance or song, Torment, and loud lament, and furious rage. Glad we returned up to the coasts of light Ere sabbath-evening: so we had in charge. But thy relation now; for I attend, Pleased with thy words no less than thou with mine. So spake the Godlike Power, and thus our Sire. For Man to tell how human life began Is hard; for who himself beginning knew Desire with thee still longer to converse Induced me.  As new waked from soundest sleep, Soft on the flowery herb I found me laid, In balmy sweat; which with his beams the sun Soon dried, and on the reeking moisture fed. Straight toward Heaven my wondering eyes I turned, And gazed a while the ample sky; till, raised By quick instinctive motion, up I sprung, As thitherward endeavouring, and upright Stood on my feet: about me round I saw Hill, dale, and shady woods, and sunny plains, And liquid lapse of murmuring streams; by these, Creatures that lived and moved, and walked, or flew; Birds on the branches warbling; all things smiled; With fragrance and with joy my heart o'erflowed. Myself I then perused, and limb by limb Surveyed, and sometimes went, and sometimes ran With supple joints, as lively vigour led: But who I was, or where, or from what cause, Knew not; to speak I tried, and forthwith spake; My tongue obeyed, and readily could name Whate'er I saw.  Thou Sun, said I, fair light, And thou enlightened Earth, so fresh and gay, Ye Hills, and Dales, ye Rivers, Woods, and Plains, And ye that live and move, fair Creatures, tell, Tell, if ye saw, how I came thus, how here?-- Not of myself;--by some great Maker then, In goodness and in power pre-eminent: Tell me, how may I know him, how adore, From whom I have that thus I move and live, And feel that I am happier than I know.-- While thus I called, and strayed I knew not whither, From where I first drew air, and first beheld This happy light; when, answer none returned, On a green shady bank, profuse of flowers, Pensive I sat me down:  There gentle sleep First found me, and with soft oppression seised My droused sense, untroubled, though I thought I then was passing to my former state Insensible, and forthwith to dissolve: When suddenly stood at my head a dream, Whose inward apparition gently moved My fancy to believe I yet had being, And lived:  One came, methought, of shape divine, And said, 'Thy mansion wants thee, Adam; rise, 'First Man, of men innumerable ordained 'First Father! called by thee, I come thy guide 'To the garden of bliss, thy seat prepared.' So saying, by the hand he took me raised, And over fields and waters, as in air Smooth-sliding without step, last led me up A woody mountain; whose high top was plain, A circuit wide, enclosed, with goodliest trees Planted, with walks, and bowers; that what I saw Of Earth before scarce pleasant seemed.  Each tree, Loaden with fairest fruit that hung to the eye Tempting, stirred in me sudden appetite To pluck and eat; whereat I waked, and found Before mine eyes all real, as the dream Had lively shadowed:  Here had new begun My wandering, had not he, who was my guide Up hither, from among the trees appeared, Presence Divine.  Rejoicing, but with awe, In adoration at his feet I fell Submiss:  He reared me, and 'Whom thou soughtest I am,' Said mildly, 'Author of all this thou seest 'Above, or round about thee, or beneath. 'This Paradise I give thee, count it thine 'To till and keep, and of the fruit to eat: 'Of every tree that in the garden grows 'Eat freely with glad heart; fear here no dearth: 'But of the tree whose operation brings 'Knowledge of good and ill, which I have set 'The pledge of thy obedience and thy faith, 'Amid the garden by the tree of life, 'Remember what I warn thee, shun to taste, 'And shun the bitter consequence: for know, 'The day thou eatest thereof, my sole command 'Transgressed, inevitably thou shalt die, 'From that day mortal; and this happy state 'Shalt lose, expelled from hence into a world 'Of woe and sorrow.'  Sternly he pronounced The rigid interdiction, which resounds Yet dreadful in mine ear, though in my choice Not to incur; but soon his clear aspect Returned, and gracious purpose thus renewed. 'Not only these fair bounds, but all the Earth 'To thee and to thy race I give; as lords 'Possess it, and all things that therein live, 'Or live in sea, or air; beast, fish, and fowl. 'In sign whereof, each bird and beast behold 'After their kinds; I bring them to receive 'From thee their names, and pay thee fealty 'With low subjection; understand the same 'Of fish within their watery residence, 'Not hither summoned, since they cannot change 'Their element, to draw the thinner air.' As thus he spake, each bird and beast behold Approaching two and two; these cowering low With blandishment; each bird stooped on his wing. I named them, as they passed, and understood Their nature, with such knowledge God endued My sudden apprehension:  But in these I found not what methought I wanted still; And to the heavenly Vision thus presumed. O, by what name, for thou above all these, Above mankind, or aught than mankind higher, Surpassest far my naming; how may I Adore thee, Author of this universe, And all this good to man? for whose well being So amply, and with hands so liberal, Thou hast provided all things:  But with me I see not who partakes.  In solitude What happiness, who can enjoy alone, Or, all enjoying, what contentment find? Thus I presumptuous; and the Vision bright, As with a smile more brightened, thus replied. What callest thou solitude?  Is not the Earth With various living creatures, and the air Replenished, and all these at thy command To come and play before thee?  Knowest thou not Their language and their ways?  They also know, And reason not contemptibly:  With these Find pastime, and bear rule; thy realm is large. So spake the Universal Lord, and seemed So ordering:  I, with leave of speech implored, And humble deprecation, thus replied. Let not my words offend thee, Heavenly Power; My Maker, be propitious while I speak. Hast thou not made me here thy substitute, And these inferiour far beneath me set? Among unequals what society Can sort, what harmony, or true delight? Which must be mutual, in proportion due Given and received; but, in disparity The one intense, the other still remiss, Cannot well suit with either, but soon prove Tedious alike:  Of fellowship I speak Such as I seek, fit to participate All rational delight: wherein the brute Cannot be human consort:  They rejoice Each with their kind, lion with lioness; So fitly them in pairs thou hast combined: Much less can bird with beast, or fish with fowl So well converse, nor with the ox the ape; Worse then can man with beast, and least of all. Whereto the Almighty answered, not displeased. A nice and subtle happiness, I see, Thou to thyself proposest, in the choice Of thy associates, Adam! and wilt taste No pleasure, though in pleasure, solitary. What thinkest thou then of me, and this my state? Seem I to thee sufficiently possessed Of happiness, or not? who am alone From all eternity; for none I know Second to me or like, equal much less. How have I then with whom to hold converse, Save with the creatures which I made, and those To me inferiour, infinite descents Beneath what other creatures are to thee? He ceased; I lowly answered.  To attain The highth and depth of thy eternal ways All human thoughts come short, Supreme of things! Thou in thyself art perfect, and in thee Is no deficience found:  Not so is Man, But in degree; the cause of his desire By conversation with his like to help Or solace his defects.  No need that thou Shouldst propagate, already Infinite; And through all numbers absolute, though One: But Man by number is to manifest His single imperfection, and beget Like of his like, his image multiplied, In unity defective; which requires Collateral love, and dearest amity. Thou in thy secresy although alone, Best with thyself accompanied, seekest not Social communication; yet, so pleased, Canst raise thy creature to what highth thou wilt Of union or communion, deified: I, by conversing, cannot these erect From prone; nor in their ways complacence find. Thus I emboldened spake, and freedom used Permissive, and acceptance found; which gained This answer from the gracious Voice Divine. Thus far to try thee, Adam, I was pleased; And find thee knowing, not of beasts alone, Which thou hast rightly named, but of thyself; Expressing well the spirit within thee free, My image, not imparted to the brute; Whose fellowship therefore unmeet for thee Good reason was thou freely shouldst dislike; And be so minded still:  I, ere thou spakest, Knew it not good for Man to be alone; And no such company as then thou sawest Intended thee; for trial only brought, To see how thou couldest judge of fit and meet: What next I bring shall please thee, be assured, Thy likeness, thy fit help, thy other self, Thy wish exactly to thy heart's desire. He ended, or I heard no more; for now My earthly by his heavenly overpowered, Which it had long stood under, strained to the highth In that celestial colloquy sublime, As with an object that excels the sense Dazzled and spent, sunk down; and sought repair Of sleep, which instantly fell on me, called By Nature as in aid, and closed mine eyes. Mine eyes he closed, but open left the cell Of fancy, my internal sight; by which, Abstract as in a trance, methought I saw, Though sleeping, where I lay, and saw the shape Still glorious before whom awake I stood: Who stooping opened my left side, and took From thence a rib, with cordial spirits warm, And life-blood streaming fresh; wide was the wound, But suddenly with flesh filled up and healed: The rib he formed and fashioned with his hands; Under his forming hands a creature grew, Man-like, but different sex; so lovely fair, That what seemed fair in all the world, seemed now Mean, or in her summed up, in her contained And in her looks; which from that time infused Sweetness into my heart, unfelt before, And into all things from her air inspired The spirit of love and amorous delight. She disappeared, and left me dark; I waked To find her, or for ever to deplore Her loss, and other pleasures all abjure: When out of hope, behold her, not far off, Such as I saw her in my dream, adorned With what all Earth or Heaven could bestow To make her amiable:  On she came, Led by her heavenly Maker, though unseen, And guided by his voice; nor uninformed Of nuptial sanctity, and marriage rites: Grace was in all her steps, Heaven in her eye, In every gesture dignity and love. I, overjoyed, could not forbear aloud. This turn hath made amends; thou hast fulfilled Thy words, Creator bounteous and benign, Giver of all things fair! but fairest this Of all thy gifts! nor enviest.  I now see Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh, myself Before me:  Woman is her name;of Man Extracted: for this cause he shall forego Father and mother, and to his wife adhere; And they shall be one flesh, one heart, one soul. She heard me thus; and though divinely brought, Yet innocence, and virgin modesty, Her virtue, and the conscience of her worth, That would be wooed, and not unsought be won, Not obvious, not obtrusive, but, retired, The more desirable; or, to say all, Nature herself, though pure of sinful thought, Wrought in her so, that, seeing me, she turned: I followed her; she what was honour knew, And with obsequious majesty approved My pleaded reason.  To the nuptial bower I led her blushing like the morn: All Heaven, And happy constellations, on that hour Shed their selectest influence; the Earth Gave sign of gratulation, and each hill; Joyous the birds; fresh gales and gentle airs Whispered it to the woods, and from their wings Flung rose, flung odours from the spicy shrub, Disporting, till the amorous bird of night Sung spousal, and bid haste the evening-star On his hill top, to light the bridal lamp. Thus have I told thee all my state, and brought My story to the sum of earthly bliss, Which I enjoy; and must confess to find In all things else delight indeed, but such As, used or not, works in the mind no change, Nor vehement desire; these delicacies I mean of taste, sight, smell, herbs, fruits, and flowers, Walks, and the melody of birds: but here Far otherwise, transported I behold, Transported touch; here passion first I felt, Commotion strange! in all enjoyments else Superiour and unmoved; here only weak Against the charm of Beauty's powerful glance. Or Nature failed in me, and left some part Not proof enough such object to sustain; Or, from my side subducting, took perhaps More than enough; at least on her bestowed Too much of ornament, in outward show Elaborate, of inward less exact. For well I understand in the prime end Of Nature her the inferiour, in the mind And inward faculties, which most excel; In outward also her resembling less His image who made both, and less expressing The character of that dominion given O'er other creatures:  Yet when I approach Her loveliness, so absolute she seems And in herself complete, so well to know Her own, that what she wills to do or say, Seems wisest, virtuousest, discreetest, best: All higher knowledge in her presence falls Degraded;  Wisdom in discourse with her Loses discountenanced, and like Folly shows; Authority and Reason on her wait, As one intended first, not after made Occasionally; and, to consummate all, Greatness of mind and Nobleness their seat Build in her loveliest, and create an awe About her, as a guard angelick placed. To whom the Angel with contracted brow. Accuse not Nature, she hath done her part; Do thou but thine; and be not diffident Of Wisdom; she deserts thee not, if thou Dismiss not her, when most thou needest her nigh, By attributing overmuch to things Less excellent, as thou thyself perceivest. For, what admirest thou, what transports thee so, An outside? fair, no doubt, and worthy well Thy cherishing, thy honouring, and thy love; Not thy subjection:  Weigh with her thyself; Then value:  Oft-times nothing profits more Than self-esteem, grounded on just and right Well managed; of that skill the more thou knowest, The more she will acknowledge thee her head, And to realities yield all her shows: Made so adorn for thy delight the more, So awful, that with honour thou mayest love Thy mate, who sees when thou art seen least wise. But if the sense of touch, whereby mankind Is propagated, seem such dear delight Beyond all other; think the same vouchsafed To cattle and each beast; which would not be To them made common and divulged, if aught Therein enjoyed were worthy to subdue The soul of man, or passion in him move. What higher in her society thou findest Attractive, human, rational, love still; In loving thou dost well, in passion not, Wherein true love consists not:  Love refines The thoughts, and heart enlarges; hath his seat In reason, and is judicious; is the scale By which to heavenly love thou mayest ascend, Not sunk in carnal pleasure; for which cause, Among the beasts no mate for thee was found. To whom thus, half abashed, Adam replied. Neither her outside formed so fair, nor aught In procreation common to all kinds, (Though higher of the genial bed by far, And with mysterious reverence I deem,) So much delights me, as those graceful acts, Those thousand decencies, that daily flow From all her words and actions mixed with love And sweet compliance, which declare unfeigned Union of mind, or in us both one soul; Harmony to behold in wedded pair More grateful than harmonious sound to the ear. Yet these subject not; I to thee disclose What inward thence I feel, not therefore foiled, Who meet with various objects, from the sense Variously representing; yet, still free, Approve the best, and follow what I approve. To love, thou blamest me not; for Love, thou sayest, Leads up to Heaven, is both the way and guide; Bear with me then, if lawful what I ask: Love not the heavenly Spirits, and how their love Express they? by looks only? or do they mix Irradiance, virtual or immediate touch? To whom the Angel, with a smile that glowed Celestial rosy red, Love's proper hue, Answered.  Let it suffice thee that thou knowest Us happy, and without love no happiness. Whatever pure thou in the body enjoyest, (And pure thou wert created) we enjoy In eminence; and obstacle find none Of membrane, joint, or limb, exclusive bars; Easier than air with air, if Spirits embrace, Total they mix, union of pure with pure Desiring, nor restrained conveyance need, As flesh to mix with flesh, or soul with soul. But I can now no more; the parting sun Beyond the Earth's green Cape and verdant Isles Hesperian sets, my signal to depart. Be strong, live happy, and love!  But, first of all, Him, whom to love is to obey, and keep His great command; take heed lest passion sway Thy judgement to do aught, which else free will Would not admit: thine, and of all thy sons, The weal or woe in thee is placed; beware! I in thy persevering shall rejoice, And all the Blest:  Stand fast;to stand or fall Free in thine own arbitrement it lies. Perfect within, no outward aid require; And all temptation to transgress repel. So saying, he arose; whom Adam thus Followed with benediction.  Since to part, Go, heavenly guest, ethereal Messenger, Sent from whose sovran goodness I adore! Gentle to me and affable hath been Thy condescension, and shall be honoured ever With grateful memory:  Thou to mankind Be good and friendly still, and oft return! So parted they; the Angel up to Heaven From the thick shade, and Adam to his bower.
