Insomnia
I can bear the grey days all right. The sky´s lowering — that I know from old; and, yes, the trek to those I love stretches as far as Oceania, the starlit domes, the rainbow´s end, or youth; but, like stripping a coat from one dying of cold, or depriving a drowning man of a life-raft, the insomniacs have been robbed of the magic key to the gloomy castle whose turrets let you see the whole globe, though it´s dark and our planet´s swimming in cries of pain. A long, long time ago a cool hand fell on my brow. Someone said: `Sleep!´ There was someone.
