You are hit by a    
boulderI worked the lever well under, and stretched my back; the end
of the stone rose up, and I kicked the fulcrum under.  Then,
when I was going to bear down, I remembered there was
something to get out from below; when I let go of the lever,
the stone would fall again.  I sat down to think, on the root
of the oak tree; and, seeing it stand about the ground, I saw
my way.  It was lucky I had brought a longer lever.  It would
just reach to wedge under the oak root.
Bearing it down so far would have been easy for a heavy man,
but was a hard fight for me.  But this time I meant to do it
if it killed me, because I knew it could be done.  Twice I
got it nearly there, and twice the weight bore it up again;
but when I flung myself on it the third time, I heard in my
ears the sea-sound of Poseidon.  Then I knew this time I
would do it; and so I did.

This doorThrough me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.
