Image containing a text quotation. The text, from Edgar Allan Poe, Marginalia, reads: Poe's “Psychal Fancies”: On the Edge of Dreams: “There is ... a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet, I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt language. ... They arise in the soul only at its epochs of most intense tranquility—when the bodily and mental health are in perfection—and at that mere points of time where the confines of the waking world blends with those of the world of dreams. I am aware of these ‘fancies’ only when I am upon the very brink of sleep with the consciousness that I am so.”
“There is ... a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet, I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt language. ... They arise in the soul only at its epochs of most intense tranquility ...”
