Impersonality

Topics: classic

I dreamed within a dream the sun was gold;     And as I walked beneath this golden sun,     The world was like a mighty play-room old,     Made for our pleasure since it was begun.     But when I waked I found the sun was air,     The world was air, and all things only seemed,     Except the thoughts we grow by; for in prayer     We change to spirits such as God has dreamed.
