“Ye
who read are still
among the
living, but I who
write
shall have long since gone my way into the region of shadows. For
indeed
strange things shall happen, and many secret things be known, and many
centuries shall pass away, ere these memorials be seen of men. And,
when
seen, there will be some to disbelieve, and some to doubt, and yet a
few
who will find much to ponder upon in the characters here graven with a
stylus of iron.” — from Edgar Allan Poe’s “Shadow — a
Parable”
(1835).
