THE DREAMS OF MAN
Our dreams surround us with great wings, Beating about our hearts till Grow certain of deep hidden things That have life in eternity; We only glimp&e their form between The spell of waking and of sleep— Tim>. when the vast unseen is seen And shadows tryst with shadows keep, And every shadow is a plan Foreshadowing the fate of man. They are the guardians, theirs the hand That guides our hearts, as guides the wind Rain-laden clouds o’er sea and land— Without their vision we are blind. They time the movement of each age, Strike down the dead leaf from its branch. And they can loose the bands that cage The earthquake and the avalanche. They are the shapers, we the form; The sand that scatters in the storm. —John B. Seton Peacey, in the London Observer.
