A Dream Within A Dream - Poem



Take this kiss upon the temples! 
What's more, in separating from you now, 
Consequently much let me acknowledge - 
You are not wrong, who consider 
That my days have been a fantasy; 
However in the event that expectation has taken off 
In a night, or in a day, 
In a dream, or in none, 
Is it hence the less gone? 
All that we see or appear 
Is however a fantasy inside a fantasy. 
I remain in the midst of the thunder 
Of a surf-tormented shore, 
Furthermore, I hold inside my hand 
Grains of the brilliant sand- - 
How few! however how they crawl 
Through my fingers to the profound, 
While I sob - while I sob! 
O God! would i be able to not get a handle on 
Them with a more tightly catch? 
O God! would i be able to not spare 
One from the merciless wave? 
Is all that we see or appear 
In any case, a fantasy inside a fantasy?

by Edgar Allan Poe
