The Eighth Dream Of The Waiting Prince

Now this morning my Lord spoke to me of his dream of the night before. And he said to me, “My dear scribe, last night as I slept I dreamt. And I saw the clouds below the High Palace, and I saw the unblemished skies above. And I saw the unblemished skies above the High Palace reflected in the waters of the Lake Of Thought in which I swam. And I saw the clouds below the High Palace reflected in the mirrored ceilings underneath which I swam. And I saw a bird in both reflections, though no birds fly above the clouds, nor none below the unblemished sky.”
