"Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Edgar Allan Poe" (Narration Orson Welles)

For my own part, I have never had a thought
Which I could not set down in words
With even more distinctness 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 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 those mere points of time
When 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.

  • if a dream is classified with what seems to be reality, then yes, everything is a dream. all of our interpretations are made by the human brain, using all 5 senses, to classify specific details

  • @wiegajc tienes razon, la interpretacion y/o percepcion depende de cada persona por nuestras esperiencias.

  • @Pally3200 Alan Parsipany Protrusion?

  • @joe7289786 This is true, however unthinking thinkability is just our interpration of thoughless thinking and should never be confused with the unknowing thought of thinking things thoughtless without giving any thought to thinking things through our dreaming thoughts of thinkability

  • Edgar Allen Poe sure had a way with words.

  • bought this in 1976 then met my first love on the train home - she said 'do you want to come to my place to listen to that?' - I was 16, she was 17. We were virgins. This song just took me back to that train ride. isnt it great how muzik does that.

  • Allan Parsons songs found me today... they reminded me of you @johncusack speaking words of Poe
