About Me

A Short Biography of THE SADS: The human heart is a lonely lane in the evening, and two lovers are walking down it, whispering and lingering. The human heart is an undiscovered country; men and women are forever perishing as they explore its wilds. The human heart is a tangled wood wherein no man knows his way. The human heart is a garden, wherein grow weeds of memory and blooms of hope, and the snow falls at last and covers all. The human heart is a band playing in a park at a distance; we see the crowds listening, but we catch but fragments of the music now and again, and cannot make out the tune. The human heart is a great city, teeming with people, full of business and mighty doings, and we wander its crowded streets unutterably alone; we do not know what it is all about. The human heart to youth is a fairy-land of adventure, to old age it is a sitting-room where no one knows his way in the dark. Bend close! You will smell the lily fragrance of love, the stench of lust, now odors as exquisite as the very spirit of violets, and now such nauseous repulsions as words cannot tell. Nobilites, indecencies, heroic impulses, cowardly ravings, good and bad, white and black-the mysteries, the central island of nescience in the sea of science, the dark spot in the lighted room of knowledge, The unknown quantity, the X in the universal problem.
