I am the ageless stranger. I am the faceless mage. I am the man in black, the walking dude, the impure soul, the antediluvian. I am the sol invictus. Der Fürst Der Finsternis! I am the deciever, are you a believer? I haven't fallen; I've merely transcended. Come with me. Take my hand, and I'll set you free. Together, you and I, we can kill time forever in a song of life and death. We'll laugh and sigh our final breaths, immortal and alone in a world of concrete our dreams turned to stone.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Because I could not stop for Death --
He kindly stopped for me --
The Carriage held but just Ourselves --
And Immortality.
We slowly drove -- He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility?
We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess -- in the Ring --
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain --
We passed the Setting Sun --
Or rather -- He passed Us --
The Dews drew quivering and chill --
For only Gossamer, my Gown --
My Tippet -- only Tulle --
We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground --
The Roof was scarcely visible --
The Cornice -- in the Ground --
Since then -- 'tis Centuries -- and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity --
~Emily Dickinson
