“Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time,
Why should I strive to set the crooked straight?”
William Morris (1834–1896) author, designer, and craftsman
The Earthly Paradise (1868-70), Apology
Context: Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time,
Why should I strive to set the crooked straight?
Let it suffice me that my murmuring rhyme
Beats with light wing against the ivory gate,
Telling a tale not too importunate
To those who in the sleepy region stay,
Lulled by the singer of an empty day.
