Joseph Lanzara
Michael ordered the sounding of the archangel trumpet, and through the vast of Heaven it blew, as the faithful armies shouted praise to God. Nor did the adversaries stand gazing at each other, but joined then in terrible collision. Storming fury rose and clamor such as never was heard in Heaven till now, the sound of mighty armies in pitched battle. Arms clashed on armor, and the madding wheels of brazen chariots roared, as fiery darts hissed overhead in flaming volley. Vaulted with fire, each host rushed against the other with ruinous assault and inextinguishable rage. All Heaven resounded, and had she been then, all earth would have shaken to her core. And no wonder when millions of fierce encountering angels fight on either side, each armed hand a legion in strength, the least of which could wield the elements! Imagine then that power multiplied, army against army, their might limited by their omnipotent King only just short of Heaven's total destruction. Each warrior here led in fight seemed every one himself a leader, expert in judgment when to advance, or stand, or turn the sway of battle, when to open and when to close the ridges of grim war. No thought of flight, nor of retreat no unbecoming deed betrayed fear. Each relied upon himself, as if in his arms only lay the decision of victory. Wide and varied was the conflict: sometimes a standing fight on firm ground then, soaring on force of wing, it would ascend, and all the air would become agitated as if on fire. The battle long hung in even balance, till Satan, ranging through the dire tumult, wielding monstrous power, discerned where the mighty sword of Michael struck and felled whole squadrons by its fury. With huge two handed sway, high its menacing edge would swing and with destruction wide descend. To confront and halt that deadly sword was Satan's aim. At his approach, the great archangel desisted from his violent toil, welcoming the opportunity here to end internal war in Heaven by subduing the archfoe. His countenance all aflame, to the advancing enemy Michael shouted: "Author of evil unknown until the crime of your rebellion these acts of hateful strife will justly fall heaviest upon your own head. Heaven casts you out from all her confines. The seat of bliss does not endure the works of violence and war. Evil go with you and your offspring, your wicked crew, once upright and faithful, now proved false, instilled with your malice; go all to the ordained receptacle of evil: Hell! Take your quarrels there, or let this avenging sword speed your exile with heightened pain!""I have sought you specially over all this battleground," cried Satan, nearing striking range, "Nor will I flee from your utmost force, though it be aided by him called Almighty. Much less expect airy threats to subdue me where with deeds you cannot. Have you turned the least of my followers to flight? Or if to fall, have they not risen again, undaunted? Yet with me you presume to deal more easily by arrogant words to chase me hence. The strife of glory which you call evil shall not so quickly end. To win is our resolve, or turn this Heaven itself into your fabled Hell, here to dwell forever free, if not to reign!"Here parley ended, and the two commenced the unspeakable duel; for who, but in the language of angels, can relate this fight; or to what familiar things on Earth compare, that may lift human imagination to such heights of godlike power? Like gods they seemed, in stature and motion in arms, fit to decide the fate of Heaven's empire. Their fiery swords waved circles in the air; their shields blazed opposite, as two broad suns in terrible expectation of attack. Till now each had met no equal in might. Where moments earlier the battle had been thickest, now lay a spacious field, as from each side the angelic throng withdrew, unsafe within the wind of such commotion. Imagine nature's harmony shattered and war sprung among the constellations. Envision two planetary spheres in dire astrological configuration, rushing in fiercest opposition into jarring combat. Such holocaust in earthly skies would afford weak imitation of these clashing angels. The contest climaxed when together, with next to almighty force, each uplifted his sword, taking aim for that one stroke which would need no repeat. Neither seemed to have advantage over the other in assault, or in swiftness of defense, but the hard sword of Michael, given him from the armory of God, was so tempered that no substance sharp or solid might resist its edge. Descending steep with force to smite, it met the sword of Satan and cut it sheer in half, nor did it stop, but with swift reverse arc entered deep, shearing all his right side. Then Satan first knew pain. The gaping wound brought him down, contracted and writhing. From the gash, a stream of sanguine nectareous liquid flowed such as celestial spirits bleed brightly staining his armor.
