"IN MY MIND'S EYE" Ghost of -
"I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word;
Would harrow up thy soul; freeze thy young blood;
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres;
Thy knotted and combined locks to part,
And each particular hair to stand on end,
Like quills upon the fretful porcupine." - SHAKESPEARE
