quest

So set out now and sail across the sea,
an exile from the country of the kind,
seeking nothing except never to find
a thing that sounds like death or destiny.
It is a truth that doesn't set you free,
but wraps you in chains Houdini can't unwind
and knots the noose, the choking tie that binds
you forever to a mortal enemy.

Or climb Olympus 'til you can touch the heavens;
and live with eagles, apart from everyone;
and never know a blow, nor know a kiss.
Reject whatever you might have been given,
rejoice that you will never more know sin --
the ignorant think ignorance is bliss.
