Don't worry Anne

I'm keeping this one.  But this one will only be in English i think...Not sure yet.  I don't want to write everything twice but i've started writing much more often...

This is one of my favorite poems and I just stumbled upon it now...
It's called A Dream Within A Dream and its by Edgar Allen Poe.
And basically is outlines my thoughts on TOK :P

"Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.


I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?"
