Prophetic Power

If in dreams prophets wield prophetic power, then prophetic power have I; for I dream of things to come, and of acts too extreme: the saint, the liar (in the cave's dark bower); the flying rug, the ivory-tower (that touches the sky like a spire, a theme where my fate now is realized and supreme); and, the forbidden fruit (at the crisis hour!). Though no prophet, neither am I a fraud; so for the skeptics who read these pages, let them see their mystery, and so be awed: for now are they set down for the ages, like the prophets of old who spoke with God; and read the scrolls composed by the sages.
