I HAD once three dreams in close succession, which I will relate to you.
In the first, I saw a magnificent palace, a little world of gardens / and buildings, a city in itself. All was enclosed within a high wall, / so that from outside you could see nothing of it except the fairy / white minarets, pencilled delicately against the blue sky, some lofty / battlemented watch-towers, and several graceful campaniles, with the / tops of a few of the highest trees. But a delicious blending of the / fragrance of a thousand flowers came thence in summer evenings; and / every night, bell-tower, watch-tower, spire, and dome, and minaret were / illuminated with innumerable starry lamps, as if every day within the / palace were a festival.
