"...For the heart whose woes are legion
Tis a peaceful, soothing region...
But the traveller, travelling through it
May not- dare not openly view it
Never its mysteries are exposed
To the weak human eye unclosed
So wills its King, who hath forbid
The uplifting of the fringed lid
And thus the sad Soul that here passes
Beholds it but through darkened glasses.”
-Edgar Allan Poe
