What but the wild fact to which they suggest some approximation of theory?
Dreams are jealous of being remembered; they dissipate instantly and angrily if you try to hold them.
When newly awaked from lively dreams, we are so near them, still agitated by them, still in their sphere,—give us one syllable, one feature, one hint, and we should repossess the whole; hours of this strange entertainment would come trooping back to us; but we cannot get our hand on the first link or fibre, and the whole is lost.
