No better way to celebrate Bram Stoker’s birthday [November 8, 1847 – April 20, 1912]
thanks to bent for reminder, & liquidnight for excellent post;]
“He hath done this alone; all alone! From a ruin tomb in a forgotten land. What more may he not do when the greater world of thought is open to him. He that can smile at death, as we know him; who can flourish in the midst of diseases that kill off whole peoples. Oh! If such a one was come from God, and not the Devil, what a force for good might he not be in this old world of ours.”
