    Err
    and err
    and err again
    but less
    and less
    and less.”

    “By a route obscure and lonely,
    Haunted by ill angels only,
    Where an eidolon, named Night,
    On a black throne reigns upright,
    I have reached these lands but newly
    From an ultimate dim Thule—
    From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
    Out of space—out of time.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
