I, alchemist of myself.

My soul is an tangled knot

upon a liquid vortex wrought...

All the tools for its untying

in four-dimensional space are lying.

-James Clerk Maxwell

I sent my Soul through the Invisible,

Some letter of that After-life to spell:

And by and by my soul return'd to me,

And answer'd, 'I Myself am Heav'n and Hell.'

-Omar Khayyam

...and found at last that I myself

was the cover over my own soul.

-Hazrat Inayat Khan

For I am I;

ergo, the truth of myself,

my own sphinx, conflict, chaos, vortex -

asymmetric to all rhythms, oblique to all paths.

I am the prism between black and white:

mine own unison in duality.

-Austin Osman Spare

Long ago I abandoned by masterpiece

a roll of paper thirty yards long

which I filled completely with minute handwriting

in my dungeon years ago.

-Peter Weiss

Hemmed in by petty thoughts and petty things,

Intent on toys and trifles all my years,

Pleased by life's guads, pained by its pricks and stings,

Swayed by ignoble hopes, ignoble fears;

Threading life's tangled maze without life's clue,

Busy with means, yet heedless of their ends,

Lost to all sense of what's real and true,

Blind to the goal to which all Nature tends: -

Such is my surface self: but deep beneath,

A mighty actor on a world-wide stage,

Crowned with all knowledge, lord of life and death,

Sure of my aim, sure of my heritage,

I - the true self - live on, in self's despite,

That 'life profound' whose darkness is God's light.

-Edmond Gore Alexander Homes

Apart from the pulling and hauling

stands what I am,

Stands amused, complacent,

compassionating, idle, unitary,

Looks down, is erect, or head on arm

on an impalpable certain rest,

Looking with side-curved head

curious what will come next,

Both in and out of the game an

watching and wondering at it.

-Walt Whitman

My privilege is to be spectator of my life drama,

to be fully conscious of the tragi-comedy of my own destiny,

and, more than that, to be in the secret

of the tragi-comedy itself,

that is to say, to be unable to take my illusions seriously,

to see myself , so to speak, from the theatre on the stage,

or to be like a man looking from beyond the tomb into existence.

-Henri Frederic Amiel
