fear

i must not fear. fear is the mindkiller. fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. i will face my fear. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past i will turn the inner eye to see its path. where the fear is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

Beethoven, Symphony No 7

don't be afraid

and we will pass the simmple ugliness

of exact tombs , where a large road crosses

and all the people are minutely dead.

then you will slowly kiss me.
