“[The S]hadow is that hidden, repressed, for the most part inferior and guilt-laden personality whose ultimate ramifications reach back into the realm of our animal ancestors”.
- Carl Jung
Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea —
Past the houses — past the headlands —
Into deep Eternity!
Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?
Emily Dickinson
