Mysticism

Mysticism with touch of sadness is often tool adeptly used by "story tellers" (metaphor). While the touch of sadness begs empathy, the mysticism conveys deliberate attempt to conceal it (holding up the subject's self esteem), while also arousing the curiosity of listener.

"Ah, All things come to those who wait,
" (I say these words to make me glad),
But something answers, soft and sad,
"They come, but often come too late".
