I Cried To Dream Again


Ancient Ruins, Stari Bar, Montenegro

Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments 
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices 
That, if I then had waked after long sleep, 
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming, 
The clouds methought would open and show riches 
Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked, 
I cried to dream again. 

-William Shakespeare, The Tempest (III.ii.138-46)
