Meandering in a dream . . .

Today is the birthday of Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849), writer, poet, editor and literary critic.

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
Edgar Allan Poe

"Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence– whether much that is glorious– whether all that is profound– does not spring from disease of thought– from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect."
Edgar Allan Poe

"It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream."
Edgar Allan Poe

"There are some secrets which do not permit themselves to be told."
Edgar Allan Poe

"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
Edgar Allan Poe

"Invisible things are the only realities."
Edgar Allan Poe
