“Though you try to be cautious,” said Satan, “I will be too difficult for you; I will cool you without you realizing it – by degrees, little by little. What do I care,” he said, “if it takes seven years to chill your heart if I can do it at last? Continual rocking will lull a crying child asleep. Though I must work at it, I will accomplish my goal. Though you are burning hot at present, if I can pull you from this fire, I will have you cold before too long.”
