   There walked into the lethal quicksands a very old man in tattered   
   purple, crowned with withered vine-leaves and gazing ahead as if upon the   
   golden domes of a fair city where dreams are understood.  That night   
   something of youth and beauty died in the elder world.  -  H P Lovecraft
