-You cannot say, or guess, for you know only<br>
+The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown
-A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,<br>
-And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,<br>
-And the dry stone no sound of water. Only<br>
-There is shadow under this red rock,<br>
-(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),<br>
-And I will show you something different from either<br>
-Your shadow at morning striding behind you<br>
-Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;<br>
-I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
