`In every grain of sand there lies Hidden the soil of a star' Arthur Machen

`I do not need a leash or a tie To lead me astray In the land where dreams lie' Yoav

In Nature's temple, living pillars rise Speaking sometimes in words of abstruse sense; Man walks through woods of symbols, dark and dense, Which gaze at him with fond familiar eyes.

Like distant echoes blent in the beyond In unity, in a deep darksome way, Vast as black night and vast as splendent day, Perfumes and sounds and colors correspond.

From "Correspondences," Charles Baudelaire
