Conscience by Madison Cawein — Read

Within the soul are throned two powers, / One, Love; one, Hate. Begot of these, / And veiled between, a presence towers, / The shadowy keeper of the keys.

With wild command or calm persuasion / This one may argue, that compel; / Vain are concealment and evasion -- / For each he opens heaven and hell.
