The air whispered tales of the untrodden, beckoning the seeker to explore the enigma of "The Road Not Taken."

Lusty Lyrics
“When how the smile, long wearied for, we read/Was kissed by him who loved like none before,/This one, who henceforth never leaves me, laid/A kiss on my mouth, trembling the while all o’er.” Dante Alighieri's Inferno, Translated by James Romanes Sibbald, Canto V, lines 130-140.

A head full of scars Not from barbs and bars Or even a stray car No They’re from the pain of life They make me friendly but distant
