Quote
You dreamt of me, I knew,And hence I couldn't sleep.The lantern flickered blueAnd there my path ran steep.[...]"This is a lake," you thought."There is an island here..."Just then, on the darkened road,A little blue light appeared.By wretched sunlight severed,You stirred and moaned in pain,And for the first time ever,You called me by my name.

The physique of a Messiah. But too clever to believe in God or be convinced of his own mission. And too sensitive, even if he were convinced, to carry it out. His muscles would like to act and his feelings would like to believe; but his nerve-endings and his cleverness won't allow it.

Paradise” is a suffering word, grossly overused and ineptly devalued in everyday hype and blurb. Yet, tired as it is, it will have to do. Nothing else conveys that sense of place that can inspire a blissful contentment.
