“A Dream” by Edgar Allen Poe
“In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed— But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past? That holy dream—that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding. What though that light, thro’ storm and night, So trembled from afar— What could there be more purely bright In Truth’s day-star?”
“We dream- it is good we are dreaming” by Emily Dickinson
“We dream—it is good we are dreaming— It would hurt us—were we awake— But since it is playing—kill us, And we are playing—shriek— What harm? Men die—externally— It is a truth—of Blood— But we—are dying in Drama— And Drama—is never dead— Cautious—We jar each other— And either—open the eyes— Lest the Phantasm—prove the Mistake— And the livid Surprise Cool us to Shafts of Granite— With just an Age—and Name— And perhaps a phrase in Egyptian— It’s prudenter—to dream—”
