Text Appearing Before Image:
The werewolves ofscholarly selfishness, the Lamias of christian casuistry,the subtle intelligence that is fed by sages and heroes, butturns them to dust, nay, to venom, because it dares not behuman, still crawls—these are yet to be revealed in alltheir horrors. Then will the old cry, SURSUM CORDA,sound over the ancient symbols whereon scholars wastetheir strength, by which they are conquered ; and wingsof courage shall bear them with their arrows of light torescue from Superstition the holy places of Humanity.

Cain and Abel - the first two sons of Adam and Eve. According to the book of Genesis, Cain, a farmer, became jealous of Abel, a shepherd, when God accepted Abel's offering of animal sacrifice but rejected Cain's offering of crops. In a fit of anger, Cain killed Abel, making him the first murderer in human history. God punished Cain by marking him and banishing him from the land.
