"The Souls of people on their way to Earth-life, pass through a room full of lights;
Each takes a taper - often only a spark - to guide it in the dim country of this world.
But some souls, by rare fortune, are detained longer - have time to grasp a handful of tapers, which they weave into a torch.
These are the torch-bearers of humanity - its poets, seers and saints - who lead and lift the race out of darkness, toward the light.
They are the law-givers, the light-bringers, way-showers, and truth-tellers, and without them, humanity would lose its way in the dark."
