Fair seed-time had my soul, and I grew up Fostered alike by beauty and by fear.

Not Chaos, not The darkest pit of lowest Erebus Nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out By help of dreamsöcan breed such fear and awe As fall upon us often when we look Into our Minds, into the Mind of Manö My haunt, and the main region of my song.
