I see the Fourfold Man the Humanity in deadly sleep, And its fallen Emanation, the Spectre and its cruel Shadow. I see the Past, Present, and Future existing all at once Before me. (William Blake)

I see the Fourfold Man the Humanity in deadly sleep, And its fallen Emanation, the Spectre and its cruel Shadow. I see the Past, Present, and Future existing all at once Before me.
