Viswamitra the Magician, <br />By his spells and incantations, <br />Up to Indra's realms elysian <br />Raised Trisanku, king of nations. <br /> <br />Indra and the gods offended <br />Hurled him downward, and descending <br />In the air he hung suspended, <br />With these equal powers contending. <br /> <br />Thus by aspirations lifted, <br />By misgivings downward driven, <br />Human hearts are tossed and drifted <br />Midway between earth and heaven.<br /><br />Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/king-trisanku/
