When Satan fell, he only fell because the Lord Almighty rose a bit too high, a bit beyond himself. So Satan only fell to keep a balance. "Are you so lofty, O my God? Are you so pure and lofty, up aloft? Then I will fall, and plant the paths to hell with vines and poppies and fig-trees so that lost souls may eat grapes and the moist fig and put scarlet buds in their hair on the way to hell, on the way to dark perdition." And hell and heaven are the scales of the balance of life which swing against each other.
Satan is the one who whispers in your ear “wait a minute.”
Lawrence had a way with words : ) I like the Icarus / Daedalus parallel on the God / Lucifer myth.
