Sometimes I just read poetry instead of novels and they increase my imagination read this poem by Edgar Allen Poe my all time favorite poet again recently- it was like it was the first time I was filled with aww. Its entitled 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?
