In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.
What though that light, thro’ storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth’s day-star?

escapism & anachronism, if there are words to describe how I see the world and my life…
Hate to be crass, but the balloon thing got me thinking. I like hands.
I love black and white photos. You wouldn’t be able to see how well his gorgeous eyelashes stand out if this were in color.
