For Mithras

Greetings my black feathered Pumpkin!!!

Is that music I hear?
Are you the next Bride?
Music and or sound are the only requirement for
this next step. The rest is up to you, Pumpkin.
Simply return to your cell and demonstrate your
Bride-like love.
Rejoice, my dear Nymphus in training!

Cheers to you!

Enter the Nave, Corax.

with the ink of night
the feathers take flight
the "wise" old owl
he has nothing on this clever fowl
a problem is only something to be solved
no need to get other birds involved
keep your songs and tunes Pshaw
for the raven need only Kaw

"Mr. Raven" says

"You did me no wrong," he returned. "Calling me a raven, or thinking me one, you allowed me existence, which is the sum of what one can demand of his fellow-beings. Therefore, in return, I will give you a lesson:--No one can say he is himself, until first he knows that he is, and then what himself is. In fact, nobody is himself, and himself is nobody. There is more in it than you can see now, but not more than you need to see. You have, I fear, got into this region too soon, but none the less you must get to be at home in it; for home, as you may or may not know, is the only place where you can go out and in. There are places you can go into, and places you can go out of; but the one place, if you do but find it, where you may go out and in both, is home."
