I have lived for an eternity.
I have watched many come and many wither
I have felt the ravage of time but not of love.
My pain is unbridled, there's no one who can understand.
Alone I sit by my desk and contemplate myself...Who is this creature? I know him not!
I am the quite scholar, the gentle poet, the sensitive painter...Who is that other creature? I know him not!
He is the brash individual, the ready adventurer, the scared mortal.
I alone can see forever...
I alone see man for what he is...
I know what we truly are...
We are and we are not.
We live forever and only a short time.
Gaze upon me and you know the truth and the way.
I am the beginning and the end.
