Either to disenthrone the King of Heaven we war,
If war be best, or to regain our own right lost.

Him to unthrone we then may hope,
When everlasting Fate shall yield to fickle Chance,
And Chaos judge the strife.

The former, vain to hope, argues as vain the latter;
For what place can be for us within Heaven's bound,
Unless Heaven's Lord supreme we overpower?

– Paradise Lost, John Milton
