One of the main reasons why the very gallant Russian poet Gumilev was put to death by Lenin's ruffians thirty odd years ago was that during the whole ordeal, in the prosecutor's dim office, in the torture house, in the winding corridors that led to the truck, in the truck that took him to the place of execution, and at that place itself, full of the shuffling feet of the clumsy and gloomy shooting squad, the poet kept smiling.

Indeed, much of its value lies quite precisely in the fact that it takes us on a holiday away from reason.
Bernard Haisch
-
Passion makes the will lord of the reason.
William Shakespeare
