:&uml;&middot;.&middot;&uml;:<br /> `&middot;.I believe in everything until it&#039;s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it&#039;s in your mind. Who&#039;s to say that dreams and nightmares aren&#039;t as real as the here and now? <br /> -John Lennon-

Alone<br /> by Edgar Allen Poe<br /> <br /> From childhood&rsquo;s hour I have not been<br /> As others were&mdash;I have not seen<br /> As others saw&mdash;I could not bring<br /> My passions from a common spring&mdash;<br /> From the same source I have not taken<br /> My sorrow&mdash;I could not awaken<br /> My heart to joy at the same tone&mdash;<br /> And all I lov&rsquo;d&mdash;I lov&rsquo;d alone&mdash;<br /> Then&mdash;in my childhood&mdash;in the dawn<br /> Of a most stormy life&mdash;was drawn<br /> From ev&rsquo;ry depth of good and ill<br /> The mystery which binds me still&mdash;<br /> From the torrent, or the fountain&mdash;<br /> From the red cliff of the mountain&mdash;<br /> From the sun that &rsquo;round me roll&rsquo;d<br /> In its autumn tint of gold&mdash;<br /> From the lightning in the sky<br /> As it pass&rsquo;d me flying by&mdash;<br /> From the thunder, and the storm&mdash;<br /> And the cloud that took the form<br /> (When the rest of Heaven was blue)<br /> Of a demon in my view&mdash;

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,<br /> There is a rapture on the lonely shore,<br /> There is society, where none intrudes,<br /> By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:<br /> I love not Man the less, but Nature more." <br /> -Lord Byron
