As Orense. To open.
As Anase. To dispel.

“Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.”

And the realists?
Well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground.”
