"Who is the third who walks always beside you? When I count, there are only you and I together But when I look ahead up the white road There is another one walking beside you Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded I do not know whether a man or a woman ~ But who is that on the other side of you?" The Wasteland, T.S. Eliot
