Edgar Allan Poe
A Dream Within A Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?”
Edgar Allen Poe, The Complete Stories and Poems

“I'm afraid that sometimes you'll play lonely games too. Games you can't win 'cause you'll play against you.”
Dr. Seuss

Edgar Allan Poe
“Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute.”
Edgar Allan Poe, The Complete Stories and Poems

Robert Fulghum
“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.”
Robert Fulghum, True Love

Edgar Allan Poe
“The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world.”
