Blessed are all simple emotions, be they dark or bright!
It is the lurid intermixture of the two that produces the illuminating blaze of the infernal regions.
-Nathaniel Hawthorne
A shadow flits before me,
Not thou, but like to thee:
Ah Christ, that it were possible
For one short hour to see
The souls we loved, that they might tell us
What and where they be!
-Alfred,Lord Tennyson
