Empyreal

Huginn: 'Empyreal' was the word Demokritos used to describe the highest heaven. It means 'in fire', for fire is the highest.

Muninn: 'Chthonic' was the word Plato used to describe the underworld. I remember his fear of the dark and the deep.

H: Which of these are we? I do not think we are much of fire or earth.

M: My love, there has always been fire in our eyes, and we are made of earth.

H: But that would mean we are like clay lamps, fired and hard.

M: Yes, it was hard being fired. I remember it well.
