H . O . Meredith . “ There is a chaos throned above the throne, Law is the servant of no destiny : Law is a shadow thrown From shapes of things by fires of Anarchy . Formless are the fires , unconfined , Neither obedient to their own desires, Nor serving other mind . They are and are not , neither live nor die ; Nor quicken , nor consume truth or lie : All things reveal them , nothing can illume ." 122
