We must habituate the senses
To a fresh impression
Nature is not made for joy but clings to pain
Nature subdued must yield in the combat
The dream must succeed to reality
Then the dream reigns supreme and
Then the dream becomes life and
Life becomes the dream
But what changes occur
It is only by comparing
The pains of actual being to
The joys of the assumed existence
That you would desire
To live no longer
But to dream thus
forever.
