Opening Remarks
Everything that the Titanic power touches is meant for his purpose of aggrandising and expanding his empire of the ego.
To slay
I have found the atoms from which he built the worlds:
The first tremendous cosmic energy
Missioned shall leap to slay my enemy kin,
Expunge a nation or abolish a race,
Death’s silence leave where there was laughter and joy.

He is ready to expunge a nation or abolish a race and leave Death’s ominous silence where once was laughter and joy.
Fissured invisible
Or the fissured invisible shall spend God’s force
To extend my comforts and expand my wealth,
To speed my car which now the lightnings drive
And turn the engines of my miracles.
He breaks the atoms and releases the invisible force locked within it to gather means for his comfort and expand his wealth and fiefdom, to speed up his cars and to run the engines of his vehicles that seem no less than miracles.

I will take his means of sorcery from his hands
And do with them greater wonders than his best.
The Titan hopes to snatch away the magical powers of the Creator and perform greater wonders than what he could or would ever do.

I have grown a master of the arts of life.
Yet through all this the Titan believes that he has kept his thought in balance by undertaking a study of his own being and the world. He has mastered not only the science but also the art of life.

And sin and virtue my inventions are
I can transcend or sovereignly use.

Seize occult powers

And see and hear the hidden thoughts of men.

No wish I harbour unfulfilled shall die:
Omnipotence and omniscience shall be mine.”
