I dreamed I lived in another's skin,
I dreamed I was my own beloved,
I dreamed I was a tiger's kin.
I dreamed that Eden lived inside me,
And when I breathed a garden came,

You in me, and me in you. — Clive Barker

They are the wings that bear us up or the chains that drag us down. In the end, it is stories that enable us to die. — John Tallmadge
