“To fare on - fusing the self that wakes and the self that dreams.”

“Your dreaming self seeks to tell you something your waking ears will not hear”

“Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain.”

“Dreams are rough copies of the waking soul Yet uncorrected of the higher will, So that men sometimes in their dreams confessAn unsuspected, or forgotten, self; -Since Dreaming, Madness, Passion, are akinIn missing each that salutory reinOf reason, and the grinding will of man.”

“But my dreaming self refuses to be consoled. It continues to wander, aimless, homeless, alone. It cannot be convinced of its safety by any evidence drawn from my waking life.”

“It is greatly understated to compare humans to an absorbent sponge, a glowing fuse; they are each an innumerable harmony, a living self that has an effect on all of the forces that surround them.”
