    “All books are either dreams or swords,
    You can cut, or you can drug, with words.”

    The very heart and core of ages past,
    The reason why men lived and worked and died,
    The essence and quintessence of their lives.”

    With the weight of this brocade,
    For the sun sifts through the shade.”
