The day seems long, but night is odious; no sleep, but dreams; no dreams but visions strange.
—Sir P. Sidney

"Sweet Dreams" a double quintain poem (of sorts)
Had lots of dreams, ne'er a one sweet
Dreamt a fine gal, went out to eat
Opened her mouth, she had no teeth
On to the next one, kinda neat
Walked on the moon, a major feat
Just some dreams that I'm here to tout
But "sweet" ain't what they's all about
A little weird they are no doubt
When doors lead in but take me out
To lands of strange where sleep does scout.

Después de los cuarenta años la verdadera cara la tenemos en la nuca, mirando desesperadamente para atrás. (After forty years, the real face is on the back of the neck, looking desperately back.)

Sleeping, we image what awake we wish;
Dogs dream of bones, and fishermen of fish.

Dreams are excursions into the limbo of things, a semi-deliverance from the human prison.

Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.

A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
