a poem by my favorite poet Wednesday. 1.28.09 3:54 am 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 Allan Poe I love Poe's writings. I love his poetry and his short stories. He also wrote a play as well as some essays. He is the father of the modern detective stories. He had a major influence on poetry and writing as we know it.
