In Dream
WALTER H. KERR
IN DREAM
In Dream, at the confluence of the said
and the unsaid, a landscape of wordshape
and lettercurve astonishes the dead,
that is to say, the Sleepers whose thoughts scrape
syllables from some waking Word to light
their journey out of Night. The view, unique
to this dimension, unfolds, for erudite
travelers, a choice of trail, so to speak,
unparalleled in all Existence. One
moves along these shapes, these cursive ranges,
in epic adventures, loves, and tongue-spun
mythology, joining, in Godchanges,
those other tourists of the Mind whose haste
to get there has left a whole world untraced.
