Answer the mysteries that challenge you

First ever entry to the Album cover challenge! There is a serendipitous back story to this, Herbert Allsop is my Great-Uncle and the family legend was that he deserted from the Royal Navy in the 1900s somewhere in Canada. It was not until I did some research did I find out that far from deserting he drowned from HMS Egeria on 24 May 1910 off the coast of Comox, Canada and is buried in the front yard of Saint Peter’s Anglican Church in that town. He was aged 23. I managed to contact a lady from Comox who was involved in the history of the town and it turns out that Henry's graves had recently been located and the Navy Cadet Force cleaned it all up and held a service there to commemorate Herbert and other sailors. I have a lot more detail about Uncle Henry that has come to light through my research.
Imagine my delight when the album title procedure came up with the quotation "answer the mysteries that challenge you"! Alvarenga Peixoto was a Brazilian Neoclassic poet.
What a wonderful story and love the title part too!
