mind-light

Updated: April 30, 2025

I've had such dreams lately such creepy-like, ghastly old dreams of wandering in wayless ways covered with water; of seeing the hearth-place full of cold ashes and the lights put out; and of carrying the 'Grief Child' in my breast, a puny, wailing bit of a baby that I could not be rid of, nor yet get away from sights and sounds after me night and day that do give me a turn to think of; and what they do mean I haven't mind-light for to see.
