“This door you might not open, and you did;
So enter now, and see for what slight thing
You are betrayed…. Here is no treasure hid,
No cauldron, no clear crystal mirroring
The sought-for truth, no heads of women slain
For greed like yours, no writhings of distress,
But only what you see….”
Edna St. Vincent Millay, from “Sonnet VI (Bluebeard)”
Because the thing behind the door is always only what you see. Because someday I am going to write a Bluebeard story.
