What in me is dark
Illumin, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.
John Milton

Okay, now put your symbol-hats on and READ! :-)

    I have sworn never to say the 'H' word again; the one everyone uses so often.
