Through soundless labyrinths of dream you pass,
Through many doors to the one door of all.
Soon as it's opened we shall hear a music:
Or see a skeleton fall . . .

Additional quotes by Conrad Aiken

What was this dream we had, a dream of music,
Music that rose from the opening earth like magic
And shook its beauty upon us and died away?
The long cold streets extend once more before us.
The red sun drops, the walls grow grey.

Death is never an ending, death is a change;
Death is beautiful, for death is strange;
Death is one dream out of another flowing.

Something had changed—but it was not the street—
The street was just the same—it was himself.

Through soundless labyrinths of dream you pass, Through many doors to the one door of all. Soon as it's opened we shall hear a music: Or see a skelet… - Conrad Aiken
