Booksleep

18 Feb 2008

·J. Maw

One day, I drifted off in sleep; mine eyes did burn behind the book of Reap. It tooke me past the wall of unfinished dreams, and led me through the well of unfermented desires: I searched the land in curiosity and sanity, and left in understanding, fully out of mind, to the place where I first slept, and last awoke; it was different now. Because my waking perception was different, because my sleeping mind had changed, because booksleep goeth deeper than real Darkness. And so now I return every night thereafter.

I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself. Michel de Montaigne
