A pleasing land of drowsyhed it was,
Of dreams that wave before the half-shut eye;
And of gay castles in the clouds that pass,
Forever flushing round a summer sky . . .

-- James Thomson, (Nov 23 1834-1882), Scottish poet, essayist; He was best known for The City of Dreadful Night, about his despair of political affairs.
