Mortmain ; "the often stifling past on the present."

How well I know what I mean to do 
When the long dark autumn-evenings come.

...I will speak now,
No longer watch you as you sit
Reading by firelight, that great brow
And the spirit-smal hand propping it,
Mutely, my heart knows how. 

...If two lives join, there is oft a scar.
They are one and one, with a shadowy third; 
One near one is too far. 
- Browning 



[And everyone has their price to pay, I don't know what to believe...
I'll call out to the world; 
"Hello, can you hear me?" 
Oh I will wait for my little songbird, but it's not the right time.
I will fly out on my own. 
So, if you see my little songbird, can you tell him I'll wait here, down by the shoreline...]
