    这个伟大的名字蕴涵着雄性的指导性力量，并不可以为凡人所知晓；却在压制女性的基督教信仰里被划入地狱深底：

“the dreaded name of Demogorgon”

 (John Milton, Paradise Lost《失乐园》, ii. 965)

“Must I call your master to my aid,

At whose dread name the trembling furies quake,

Hell stands abashed, and earth’s foundations shake?”

（Rowe: Lucan’s Pharsalia, vi.）

    然而，他是命运的指挥者：

"...according to Ariosto, Demogorgon had a great palace in the Himalayas where, every fifth year, he summoned all the fates to give an account of their actions."

(The Secret of the Shakespeare Plays)

    也曾给过我们此般的箴言：

“To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite;

To forgive wrongs darker than Death or Night;

To defy Power, which seems omnipotent;

To love, and bear; to hope, till Hope creates

From its own wreck the thing it contemplates;”

(Percy Bysshe Shelley, Prometheus Unbound, ACT IV)

“忍受一切‘希望’觉得是无穷的痛苦；

窒息一切如‘死’与‘夜’一样黑暗的罪过；

打倒那种俨然是无所不能的‘权威’；

要爱，要忍耐，要保持希望，直至

‘希望’在自身废墟上实现他的企想”

    这是箴言，也是咒语。知晓，坚持，哪怕是地狱也会在我们脚下颤抖！那么，就请庄重的黑暗成为我们最为辉煌的光明……
