spes clara

Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow . . .


Paradise Lost – John Milton

Here shalt thou sit incarnate, here shalt reign
Both God and man, Son both of God and Man,
Anointed universal King. All power
I give thee; reign for ever, and assume
Thy merits; under thee, as head supreme,
Thrones, Princedoms, Powers, Dominions, I reduce:
All knees to thee shall bow, of them that bide⁠
In Heaven, on Earth, or under Earth in Hell.

[3.315-322]
