It may be summed up in the lines from that little poem, where he leaves her side who has, for a moment, turned his heart from the Tomb. The reader will remember the way it begins: "Take this kiss upon thy brow." And the conclusion is the confusion of the whole matter: "All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream."
It seemed a dream now a far-off, unhappy dream which she would fain forget just as she wanted Richard to forget her foibles and give her another chance.
Then he laughed, a wild, exulting ha! ha! with a strange triumphant roar that filled the house and reechoed through it; a sound full of fierce, animal rapture, enjoyment of sensual life mixed up with a sort of horror. After all, real as it was, it was like the sounds a man makes in a dream.
When Ronnie came to himself, emerging quite suddenly from a long, confused dream, which had held many voices, many happenings over which he had exercised no control and which were too indefinite to be remembered, he found himself sitting on a seat, on the esplanade at Hazelbeach.
There had not been in his heart the faintest hope that she could ever again be anything more to him than a memory and a dream. When he was in England, though he had not been content until he had seen his children and his old home, he had never sought to get a glimpse of her, so far beyond him and above him.
When I look back and recall how for three years I arose at dawn, it looks like a wretched dream. I suppose it is because I have become so lazy. It is distressing to think that only six months have passed since I was raised from the depths of poverty, and here I am already spoiled by good fortune!
Look away again and read or dream, as you would on the beach, and then, see, the head and shoulders of the leading horse are up, and by-and-by the plough rises, as they come back on the opposite tack. Thus the long hours slowly pass.
Why did she tantalize him torture him, thus? keeping him dangling between Heaven and hell? he asked himself, and he asked her, over and over again. He became more and more convinced that there was a reason, what was it? Finally she gave it to him in its baldness and its brutality, just as it had come to her wrote it to him in a letter. It brought him a rude awakening from his dream of bliss.
It's your dream time, sweetheart. It's your time to do nothing but love. After a while you'll turn to the work, and you'll do things easily then that were hard to do before." How had he known? For nothing had ever been more true than that. She knew this morning that she could do things easily now which had been hard to do before.
I see an America in which we have made great strides in stopping the pollution of our air, cleaning up our water, opening up our parks, continuing to explore in space. Most important, I see an America at peace with all the nations of the world. This is not an impossible dream. These goals are all within our reach.
