Those who called for Nonsense will find that it comes
-C. S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength
We have seen Milton’s Pandaemonium Choreographed on a wide palantir Fallen angels praising the Great Fallen One In a High Council of electrified lies
Great thunderings of fire and rolling smoke Issuing from a shiny plastic throne of power The Great Fallen One framed in Elvis lights On the floor the lesser ones screaming in ecstasy
The Great Fallen One has a plan for us After all the balloons, too, have fallen
Allusions (but not illusions) from PARADISE LOST, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, and THAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH.
