"how happy is the blameless vessels lot. The world forgiving by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. Each prayer accepted. Each wish resigned."

Melting the Darkness
A nymph o' th' sea
the fair maiden
saffron wings gleamed
Sweet air flooded forth with
"i have suffered"
speaked a voice
of dread rattiling thunder
a mark so bloody
to touch her heart
every drop of blood
like honey drops
to the veins of the earth
reached up and grasped him
tears ran down his beard
like winter drops
"my slave" quote the nymph
"to drive into the fire with the"
he was pulled toward
a prison
of the merkiest den
