My dreams




Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

-- William Butler Yeats

  1. So beautiful, both the picture and the poem. The photograph could be the setting of one of Hopper's pictures, reminds me of Nighthawks, or Magritte or even Paul Delvaux...
