The Mundane Shell

时间：2007-09-04 05:53:53

（单词翻译:单击）

 The Mundane1 Shell is a vast Concave Earth， an immense

    Harden'd Shadow of all things upon our Vegetated2 Earth，

    Enlarg'd into Dimension and deform'd into indefinite Space，

    In Twenty-seven Heavens and all their Hells， with Chaos3

    And Ancient Night and Purgatory4. It is a cavernous Earth

    Of labyrinthine5 intricacy， twenty- seven folds of Opaqueness6，

    And finishes where the lark7 mounts.
