Charles DickensA dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing, and leaves the sleeper where he lay down, but I wish you to know that you inspired it.
About This Quote
I don't even know where to begin with this one. I honestly feel like this quote has a meaning that only the user can interpret, because it really does not make much sense to me. It seems as though the author is saying that he wishes he could have met you and written a poem about you, but the fact that he didn't is probably due to his own personal feelings. I feel as though he misses you and wishes that you were still alive because those feelings are gone from him now that you are gone, but I don't know what that means. Is it just because he misses you? Is it because he wants to talk to you again? A dream is something that does not come true, so maybe the author dreams about this poem coming true, but then woke up at the last minute.
