******************


The are calling, calling, Away, come away!
    And we know not whence they call;
For the song is in our hearts, we hear it night and day,
    As the deep tides rise and fall:
O, Death will never find us in the heart of the wood
    While the hours and the years ride by!
We have heard it, we have heard it, but we have
    not understood
We must wander on together, you and I.

-Alfred Noyes, In the Heart of the Woods

All shall be well,
But not for me
But not for me.

- Current 93, In the Heart of the Wood and What I found There
