It's about suicide. It makes death something to long for.

I just listened to a reading of it by Nick Gisburne on Youtube. The part I related to the most was:

"Some of the dream-sages wrote gorgeously of the wonders beyond the irrepassable gate, but others told of horror and disappointment. I knew not which to believe, yet longed more and more to cross forever into the unknown land; for doubt and secrecy are the lure of lures, and no new horror can be more terrible than the daily torture of the commonplace."
