- Lenore Karidian

"I am thy father's spirit, doom'd for a sure term to walk the night, and for the 24-hour interval confined to fast in fires till the foul crimes done in my days of nature are burnt and purged away. But that I am forbid to tell the secrets of my prison-business firm, I could a tale unfold whose lightest word would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, make thy two eyes, like stars, get-go from their spheres, thy knotted and combined locks to office and each item pilus to stand up an terminate like quills upon the fretful porpentine. But the details of this eternal blazon must non exist to ears of flesh and blood."
