Paradise Lost art

High on a throneBad angels hovering on wingHurled from the ethereal sky

PandemoniumSatan Arousing the Fallen Angels
pan·dae·mo·ni·um: Greek pan "all", Latin daemonium "little spirit, demon"

Some more Paradise Lost artwork I found.  I really like the gothic look and the black & white, it fits the mood well.

Paradise Lost

Better to reign in hell than serve in Heaven.
(Book 1, line 263)

The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heaven of hell, a hell of Heaven.
(Book 1, lines 254-5)

Awake, arise, or be forever fallen!
(Book 1, line 330)

And, when night
Darkens the streets, then wander forth the sons
Of Belial, flown with insolence and wine.
(Book 1, lines 500-2)
