moonshadow

"They make us what we were not --- what they will,
And shake us with the vision that's gone by,
The dread of vanish'd shadows --- Are they so?
Is not the past all shadow? --- What are they?
Creations of the mind? --- The mind can make
Substance, and people planets of its own
With beings brighter than have been, and give
A breath to forms which can outlive all flesh"

from "The Dream" , Lord Byron
