Dreaming is the one thing we have that's really ours, invulnerably and inalterably ours. Life and the Universe — be they reality or illusion — belong to everyone. Everyone can see what I see and have what I have, or can at least imagine himself seeing it and having it, and this is.....
But no one besides me can see or have the things I dream. And if I see the outer world differently from how others see it, it's because I inadvertently incorporate, into what I see, the things from my dreams that stuck to my eyes and ears.

Und so schleppe ich mein Leben damit hin, das zu tun, was ich nicht will, und das zu erträumen, was ich nicht haben kann, absurd wie eine stehen-gebliebene öffentliche Uhr. Nur die zarte, aber feste Sensibilität, der lange, aber vollauf bewusste Traum, bilden in ihrer Gesamtheit mein Halbschattenprivileg.
