|Decayform destroys the souls of dreams. / A form of gods, to avoid, it seems. / Seek not its touch, nor beckon its screams, deny it. / Watch where you walk, your toes to tread. / O'er hill or rocky riverbed / Hold dear to fears that fill your head, defy it.
|27th stanza of the [[Song of Secrets]]{{epigraph ref|sa2|24}}
