What hath fate bestown upon me? Even mine eyes cannot tell For they are oft deceived These portals unto mine soul. Can such a fate destroy a man? Let me tell -- Like shadows cast when the sun sleeps All remains a mystery Of which only eyes can decipher. It is of such account That man duels with fate, with fortune, with conscience. The deepest darkness Lies within the shallows of the stomach And upon revelation Doth man enter the greatest duel. To trust thine instinct Over thy logic? To trust thy conscience Over thy soul? Prithee, listen, for experience speaks. Mate the two. Breed from them a reason Of which none know. Learn this reason, Breathe thy breath into't, Lest it depart with the Sun. Give order to't. Allow the shadows of the soul The mysterious plunder of the imagination To envelop all'st one hath to offer. Let it by thy clothes, Wilst treating it as thy mother. Drift into an eternal abyss That is thine own reason.
