“All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.”

Edgar Allan Poe book A Dream Within a Dream

"A Dream Within a Dream" (1849).
Context: You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

“Unchanged within, to see all changed without,
Is a blank lot and hard to bear, no doubt.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) English poet, literary critic and philosopher

Duty Surviving Self-Love (1826)
Context: Unchanged within, to see all changed without,
Is a blank lot and hard to bear, no doubt.
Yet why at others' Wanings should'st thou fret?
Then only might'st thou feel a just regret,
Hadst thou withheld thy love or hid thy light
In selfish forethought of neglect and slight.
