For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words with even more distinctness than that which I conceived it.
There is, however, a class of fancies [F] of exquisite delicacy [G] [Abm] which are not thoughts, and to which as [Db] yet I have found it [D] absolutely impossible [Eb] to adapt to language.
[Gb] These [Ab] fancies arise in the soul, [Eb] alas, how rarely, only at [Em] epochs of most intense tranquility, when the bodily and mental [G] health are in perfection,
[B] and at [G] those mere points of time where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of dreams.
[E] And so I capture this fancy, [Em] where all that we see or seem is but [G] a dream within a dream.
