The initiate steps forward, clutching parchment, ancient ink stains marking the trail of wanderers who came before. One must sit at the scribed altar, offerings of words whispered between quiet pages. Invocation, they chant; names etched across moonlit thoughts. Home Poem, they murmur, and with it the drawing of curtains on consciousness itself.
Binding treaties of worth and wisdom, the seeker sees the elder Hooded Figure, who speaks in lines of queries and quotes, Journey to the Epiphany, where verses fold into mountains, and echoes of the unsaid scribble themselves dizzy on eternity's margins. A bibliography is no mere listing. It is a mapping of the soul's footprints.
But questions remain, urged by the Silent Pen. Is it the quill or the hand that guides the memory of ink? Tread lightly, say the texts, or disturbed shall be the circle of letters, errant commas sliding, breaking order, where the typist stands ready, calloused palms on ivory keys stained with burnt umber.
No rite is silent, for the emboss of syllables creates its own hum, low and deep, resonating with the specters of tomes unopened, waiting still, Mysteries of Plots unwound and rewoven through the loom of imagination. Within this room, the clandestine shepherd controls the mysteries of loquacious keystrokes.
