Indeed, the tree of Zaqqum (43) Is food for the sinful (44) Like murky oil, it boils within bellies (45) Like the boiling of scalding water (46), "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire, (47) Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water." (48), "Taste! Indeed, you are the (so-called) honored, the noble! (49) Indeed, this is what you used to dispute." (50)

—Theresa Brown (b. 1957)

“There was about all the Romans a heroic tone peculiar to ancient life. Their virtues were great and noble, and these virtues made them great and noble. They possessed a natural majesty that was not put on and taken off at pleasure, as was that of certain eastern monarchs when they put on or took off their garments of Tyrian dye. It is hoped that this is not wholly lost from the world, although the sense of earthly vanity inculcated by Christianity may have swallowed it up in humility.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
