William Shakespeare

“ But as the fierce vexation of a dream.
But first I will release the fairy queen.
Be as thou wast wont to be;
See as thou wast wont to see:
Dian’s bud o’er Cupid’s flower
Hath such force and blessed power.
Now, my Titania; wake you, my sweet queen.
Titania.
My Oberon! what visions have I seen! Methought I was enamour’d of an ass,
Oberon.
There lies your love.
...and her fairy sent
To bear him to my bower in fairy land
Titania. ”

“ I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was: man is but an ass if he go about to expound this dream. Methought I was,—there is no man can tell what. Methought I was,—and methought I had,—but man is but a patched fool, if he will offer to say what methought I had. The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man’s hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report, what my dream was. ”

“ Methinks I see these things with parted eye,
When every thing seems double.
Helena.
When every thing seems double.So methinks:
And I have found Demetrius like a jewel,
Mine own, and not mine own.
Demetrius.
Mine own, and not mine own.Are you sure
That we are awake? It seems to me
That yet we sleep, we dream. ”
