(Note: These spoken words appear only on the remastered 1987 Version, narrated by Orson Welles)
For my own part I have never had a thought Which I could not set down in words With even more distinctness Than that which I conceived it
There is however, a class of fancies Of Exquisite delicacy Which are not thoughts And to which is yet, I have found it Absolutely impossible to adapt to language
These fancies arise in us all Alas how rarely Only an epics of most intense tranquility When the bodily and mental health are in perfection And at those mired points of time Where the confines of the waking world Blend with the world of dreams And so I captured this fancy
Where all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream
