it’s so quiet

everywhere,

and often I wonder how

dreams

ever are filled to brimming and

go

pouring down in the annals of

history.

but I still my soul — the night

is

young, and untainted joy is

being

content with the story as it is being

made.

Jacob's Dream (From Dore's Bible, c. 1880) by Gustave Doré. Wood Engraving on wove paper.
