Oh, The Brave Music Of A Distant

There Was A Door To Which I Found No Key: There Was The Veil Through Which I Might Not See.

I Can’t Reveal The Mystery To Either Saint Or Sinner; I Can’t State At Length What I’ve Said Curtly; I Achieve An Altered State That I Can’t Explain; I Have A Secret That I Cannot Share.

Heaven But The Vision Of Fulfilled Desire, And Hell The Shadow From A Soul On Fire.

A Drink Is Shorter Than A Tale

And This I Know; Whether The One True Light Kindle To Love, Or Wrath Consume Me Quite, One Flash Of It Within The Tavern Caught Better Than In The Temple Lost Outright.
