“No, I'm not Byron, it's my roleTo be an undiscovered wonder,Like him, a persecuted wand'rer,But furnished with a Russian soul.I started sooner, sooner ending,My mind will never reach so high;Within my soul, beyond the mending,My shattered aspirations lie:Dark ocean answer me, can anyPlumb all your depth with skillful trawl?Who will explain me to the many?I... perhaps God? No one at all?”

Mikhail Lermontov

“There never was a moment in my life, when I felt so in the Presence, as I do now. I feel as if the Almighty were so real, and so near, that I could reach out and touch Him, as I could this wonderful work of His, if I dared. I feel like saying to Him: 'To the extent of my brain power I realize Your presence, and all it is in me to comprehend of Your power. Help me to learn, even this late, the lessons of Your wonderful creations. Help me to unshackle and expand my soul to the fullest realization of Your wonders. Almighty God, make me bigger, make me broader!”

My life slowly descended out of me when one of the vampires reached forward with an arm, stripping me of my soul. With just one snap of his wrist, my mind went blank.”
