Old Stuff  -

"For my own part, I have never had a thought which could not set out in words, with even more distinctness, than that 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 adept to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas how rarely, only at epox of intense tranquility, where the bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those mere points in time, were 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."
(Allan Parsons Project in 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination', inspired by Edgar Allan Poe)
