IT MUST BE THAT OLD EVIL SPIRIT, SO DEEP DOWN IN THE GROUND....
"He had taken a dreary road, darkened by all the gloomiest trees of the forest which barely stood aside to let the narrow path creep through and closed immediately behind. It was all as lonely as could be; and there is this peculiarity in such a solitude, that the traveler knows not who may be concealed by the unumerable trunks and the thick boughs overhead; so that with lonely footsteps he may yet be passing through an unseen multitude... and he glanced fearfully behind him as he added, 'What if the devil himself should be at my very elbow!' His head being turned back, he passed a crook of the road and, looking forward again, beheld the figure of a man, in grave and decent attire, seated at the foot of an old tree. He arose at Goodman Brown's approach and walked onward side by side with him. 'You're late, Goodman Brown,' said he."
--From 'Young Goodman Brown' by Nathaniel Hawthorne
