    It lives within me
    Passion and love intertwined
    And it lives and grows

    Volume 1, Fifth Book, Chapter 3
    Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.

    And it lives and grows
    On conservative light through
    rose-tinted windows

    But the fog is grey
    during these hushed winter nights
    and the fire sings

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    And the fire sings
    A love-song to the darkness
    Wherein ashes lie.

    Wherein ashes lie
    That cold urn on the mantle
    A loved one now lost

    But where on earth could they be
    a futile search for...

    The only thing they won't find
    But still they will look

    but still they will look
    in their cold wet suits they dive
    to her resting place

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    To her resting place
    Where she used to come for calm
    She now lies for good

    she now lies for good

    a former beauty...
