Night, the mother of fear and mystery, was coming upon me.
H. G. Wells
Image
It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening.
