The Shadow

I keep thinking that there are odd tidbits I know that I ought to share, just in case. Here’s one that happened to come to mind today.

Lots of people know that the line “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?” comes from The Shadow — the old pulp fiction and radio series.

But that’s just the last line. Here’s the whole thing:

There is, in every man, a dark side –
a capacity for sin.
It lies behind the doorway of the mind,
the lock concealed in shadow, the key a mystery.
To find that key is to find the entrance to the darkest secrets of the human soul.
And to walk that pathway, to face the darkness, is to become its master.
But who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

(Note: It might be “…beyond the doorway…”)
