“As I wandered, The very bowels of Hell, The fires, Torments, The Damned, Assailing me, I noticed in the distance, A most beautiful light. It called to me, sang, and I moved toward it. The damned did try than, To destroy my progress, And for a moment, They nearly did. Their whisper, So soft, So comforting, Dragged me down.

A Great and Beautiful Mirror, Reflecting the wonder, The Exquisite truth, Of me.”
