"Tell a wise person, or else keep silent, for the everyman will mock it right away. I praise what is truly alive, and what longs to be burned to death. In the calm waters of the love-nights, where you were begotten, where you have begotten, a strange feeling comes over you, when you see the silent candle burning. Now you are no longer caught in this obsession with darkness, and a desire for higher love-making sweeps you upward. Distance does not make you falter. And now, arriving in magic, flying, and finally, insane for the light, you are the butterfly, and you are gone. And so long as you haven't experienced this -- to die, and so to grow, -- you are only a troubled guest on a dark earth."

~ 'The Holy Longing', Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
