Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together,
But when I look ahead up the White road beside you
gliding wrapt in brown mantle, hooded
-but who is that on the other side of you
-T S Eliot, The White Road
He gave no comfort, saved no one.
Adrift he moves by guilty moons...
-Pinetop Seven, "Mission District"
I seemed to move among a world of ghosts and feel myself
the shadow of a dream
-Alfred, Lord Tennyson, "The Princess"
When [the angels] descend, they put on the garment of the world.
If they did not put on a garment befitting this world
they could not endure in this world
and the world could not endure them
- The Zohar
There is no hope of death for these souls, and their lost life
is so low, that they are envious of any other kind
- Dante Alighier, The Inferno Canto lll
