Midway on our lifes journey, I found myself in dark woods--the right road lost

...to tell about those woods is hard--so tangled and rough and savage that thinking of it now I feel the old fear stirring. Death is hardly more bitter. And yet, to treat the good I found there aswell, I'll tell what I saw. Though how I came to enter I cannot well say being so full of sleep whatever moment it was I began to blunder off the right path.
