“It's hard to tell / if we close our eyes or if night / opens in us other starred eyes, / if it burrows into the wall of our dream / till some other door opens. / But the dream is only the flitting costume of one moment, / is spent in one beat / of the darkness, / and falls at our feet, cast off / as the day stirs and sails away with us.” IfsHardMomentsDreamEyeNightFallSleepDarknessDoorsFeetWallBeatsCastsSailCostumesOur Dreams Author:Pablo Neruda
“This is the pleasantest part of life. Oblivion throws her light coverlet over our infancy; and, soon after we are out of the cradle we forget how soundly we had been slumbering, and how delightful were our dreams. Toil and pleasure contend for us almost the instant we rise from it: and weariness follows whichever has carried us away. We stop awhile, look around us, wonder to find we have completed the circle of existence, fold our arms, and fall asleep again.” LooksDreamLightFallForgetPleasureExistenceWonderArmsCirclesInstantToilDelightfulOur DreamsOblivionFoldsCradleParts Of LifeInfancyWeariness Book:Pericles and Aspasia Source: Pericles and Aspasia
