Life Is a Dream and Other Spanish Classics (Eric Bentley's Dramatic Repertoire) - Volume II Quotes Showing 1-1 of 1
“Tis a dream that I in sadness
Here am bound, the scorn of fate;
'Twas a dream that once a state
I enjoyed of light and gladness.
What is life? 'Tis but a madness.
What is life? A thing that seems,
A mirage that falsely gleams,
Phantom joy, delusive rest,
Since is life a dream at best,
And even dreams themselves are dreams.”
Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Life Is a Dream: And Other Spanish Classics
