Teleport me to the Gateway
Receive my thoughts
You entered my inner sanctum, Traveler. Mystic fantasy is my deep joy; ancient mysteries my great enthusiasm. Enter here the dark forests through the mists of time, pass thru the veil of antiquity; discover long-abandoned honor, chivalry, and heroism.  Open your mind, release your imagination; perceive the vision of the mystic realm.

Mystic Realm Page 6 Fairy Lights stories by Marble
You have strayed from the path to follow the Fairy Lights and now you shall be lost forever in the twilight between the worlds, never to return from the mystic realm.
Had I the heavens embroidered cloths,
enwrought with golden and silver light,
the blue and the dim and the dark cloths,
of night, and light, and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

                                  W. B. Yeats, 19th century Irish poet and author


Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet tis early morn,
Leave me here and when you want me, sound upon the bugle horn.

Twilight and evening bell, and after that the dark;
and may there be no sadness of farewell when I embark,
for tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place the flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my pilot face to face, when I have crossed the bar.

Slowly answered Arthur from the barge;
"The old order changes yielding place to the new,
and God fulfills Himself in many ways,
lest one good custom corrupt the world."

Our little systems have their day, they have their day then cease to be.
They are but broken lights of Thee, and thou, O Lord, art more than they.

Let knowledge grow from more to more,
but more of reverence in us dwell,
that mind and soul according well,
may make one music as before.

I held it Truth with him who sings
to one clear harp in diverse tones,
that men may rise on stepping-stones,
of their dead selves to higher things.

                             Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 19th century poet and author




If there were dreams to sell,
what would you buy?
Some cost a passing bell, some a light sigh,
that shakes from Life's fresh crown
only a roseleaf down.
If there were dreams to sell,
merry and sad to tell,
and the crier rung the bell
what would you buy?

                          Thomas Lovell Beddoes, 19th century poet
