Lift that veil and you'll see clear: the mountains in the distance, your dear face, even the sea, and the words you speak to me. Now lift the next veil Amazing: more light, more sense, more sparkling gems Then lift another and another All through your life, let your friends help you, and your work, and your play as well until the last veil is lifted and all is revealed: you have found yourself.
