[The Alan Parsons Project, Orson Welles - A Dream Within a Dream lyrics]
"For my own part, I have never had a thought
Which I could not set down in words
With even more distinctness than that
With which I conceived it
There is, however, a class of
Fancies, of exquisite delicacy
Which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet
I have found it absolutely impossible
To adapt to language
These fancies arise in the soul
(alas, how rarely) only at epochs
Of most intense tranquillity -
When the bodily and mental health
Are in perfection -
And at those mere points of
Time where the confines of
The waking world blend with
The world of dreams
And so I captured this fancy
Where all that we see or seem is
But a dream within a dream"
Which I could not set down in words
With even more distinctness than that
With which I conceived it
There is, however, a class of
Fancies, of exquisite delicacy
Which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet
I have found it absolutely impossible
To adapt to language
These fancies arise in the soul
(alas, how rarely) only at epochs
Of most intense tranquillity -
When the bodily and mental health
Are in perfection -
And at those mere points of
Time where the confines of
The waking world blend with
The world of dreams
And so I captured this fancy
Where all that we see or seem is
But a dream within a dream"
