There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
- Hamlet (1.5.167–8), Hamlet to Horatio

I find myself in shadows in between,
In spaces blended, clouded, varied, grey;
In places not so simple, plain, and clean.
I live in all the colours that array
Between the dark and light, the night and day;
Where everything is muddled, mingled, blurred;
Elaborately braided: a bouquet;
A rainbow tapestry truly superb.
There are more things between any extremes
Than you can conjure up in wildest dreams.
