The love-sick and luxurious dream-land dear to irrational poets is a distorted image of the ideal world; but this distortion has still an ideal motive, since it is made to satisfy the cravings of a forgotten part of the soul and to make a home for those elements in human nature which have been denied overt existence.
"You will have no turning over to do for me; the songs I love best I know by heart. Shut your eyes, Norman, and dream." "I shall dream more vividly if I keep them open and look at you," he returned. Then in a few minutes he began to think he must be in dream-land the rich, sweet voice, so clear, so soft, so low, was filling the room with sweetest music.
The room appeared at first to be but the haunt of the spirits of the past; no human voice, no human footstep, was heard; and the stranger instinctively pressed the hand he held more tightly; for he was not sure but that he was standing on the boundary of dream-land, and some elfin maiden had reached him her hand to lure him into her mountain, where he should live with her forever.
Hayne slowly turned and looked upon the girl. She seemed to have wandered off into dream-land. For a moment there was no sound; then, with a little shivering sigh, she roused herself. "It is simply exquisite," she said. "You have given me such a treat!" "I'm glad. I owe you a great deal more pleasure, Miss Travers." Mrs. Waldron hereat elevated her eyebrows.

So even those happy thoughts of a joyous holiday soon left me and I slept.
One drifts unconsciously a little way into dream-land when one sits oneself down to recall the happenings of long ago; while Fancy, with a sly wink, whispers ever and again to Memory: "Let me tell this incident picture that scene: I can make it so much more interesting than you would." But Tommy how can I put it without saying too much: there is someone I think of when I speak of her?
Mary Runnel is the only personage who does not come evidently from dream-land; and she, I think, represents that lurking scepticism, that sense of unreality, of which we are often conscious, amid the most vivid phantasmagoria of a dream. I should be glad to believe in the genuineness of these spirits, if I could; but the above is the conclusion to which my soberest thoughts tend.
Then, with a change of tone habitual to him, and a little sarcastic: "Yes, but as difficult to find as dream-land; I thought I should have to turn back to France without meeting with you, for no one seemed to be aware of the existence of the 'lac Ave' any more than of 'Ineestreeneeche, and I was beginning to suspect your descriptions to have been purely imaginary, when un trait de lumiere illuminated my brain.
