Entrance to the netherworld
 

By the grey woods, - by the swamp / Where the toad and the newt encamp - / By the dismal tarns and pools / Where dwell the Ghouls, - / By each spot the most unholy - / In each nook most melancholy, - / There the traveller meets, aghast, / Sheeted Memories of the Past - / (From Dream-Land by Edgar Allan Poe).
