O Calliope, muse of epic poetry and Erato, seducer of love poems, do ye know about the pains of life or about the tremors of the soul itself? perhaps not. then where shall i find the true museum muse, that marvelous explorer of the labyrinth of life exhibits? if i discover him will he reveal to me love held and love released? will he then disclose to me the pain, pride, and promise of my existence? will he flash memories affixed in my heart? which tomb, then, do i want to unearth? or am i careless or timid when deciding which episodes i want others to see and which i hope to bury?
