I dreamed I spoke in another's language, I dreamed I lived in another's skin, I dreamed I was my own beloved, I dreamed I was a tiger's kin. I dreamed that Eden lived inside me, And when I breathed a garden came, I dreamed I knew all of Creation, I dreamed I knew the Creator's name. I dreamed--and this dream was the finest-- That all I dreamed was real and true, And we would live in joy forever, You in me, and me in you.

Clive Barker

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

For everybody, the tide comes in, the tide goes out - if you're an actor, particularly.

The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.
