🔰A Dream Within a Dream
by Edgar Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow -
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.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand -
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
A fun fact is that the street sign that appears at 0:22 is translated from Greek to English as "Love Street" and the street in real life leads to a dead end. Maybe it is coincidence or someone had a twisted sense of humor.
ooh that's such a strange coincidence
It's just.. I dunno..
Right now or for now, that 'harsh' fact much more impressed me than Edgar Allan Poe..
I mean, 'the Edgar Allan Poe'..
A huge, filled with tears heart for both 🖤
We have a Lovers lane on my street and it's a dead end also

@@shrektical7674 hahahaha the same cruel joke somewhere else
Edgar Allan Poe is my favorite writer, I love reading the short stories he wrote especially "The Tell-tale heart"
He's my favourite writer too, i love his stories so much especially "a decent into the maelstrom"
@@darkspearepsych Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
Mah fav too!!
james ken. I love Bukowski too but I still prefer Poe. I think it’s all down to personal choice tho
My favourite is " the raven" i love the way its written.
He’s such an emotional writer. Like he’s literally crying out to God for the answer. It shows how hopeless he feels, it’s very beautiful.
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow -
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.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand -
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
🙏🙏
Thank you, but next time make sure to divide them into stanzas!😁
What is it about poetry that reaches into those parts of you that you didn't even know existed, that makes you feel a way you have never felt?
These videos are perfect in every way possible.
That's so kind, thank you
Because it can easily be you
What is it, about you, that makes you see the same dream. Within a dream. Trust love friend.
A deam within a dream 🌹❤️
illneas Did you use an AI based speech engine to read the poem? Or is it a live voiceover?
Edgar Allan Poe was onto the simulation theory in the 19th century.
He just understood it was all about the personal perception of reality. Those who have the capacity understand that just with relationships and love stories. The dream (your hopes) within a dream (your own perception of reality not always shared by others). But yes, as you said, extremely woke for his time. I'm still impressed by the veracity of these great writters. All of them loners, ecluding themselves from the society because of that curse of vision. The 3rd eye...
And the ancient Hindu's long before Poe!
@@D-777i could you elaborate?
Newton was on it as well i think Was it 18th?
@@D-777i and the ancient Greeks
Is it just me or does Edgar Allan Poe's work hit different??? When I was first introduced to his work, I was confused but in awe with his wording and subtle indication. Btw the narrator is absolutely amazing. Keep doing what you do.💗👌
"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" ♥️
A beautiful upload.
Thank you ^^
Filming those small moments, that are as expressive as the poem, is a dream within a dream. maybe everything so beautiful and personal is a dream within a dream because it comes straight from the soul: intact and simple yet so elaborated and complex. And what is a dream without the dreamer?
Glimpses of reality
What is the dreamer without the one who created him or her? If the dreams are so elaborate and the dreamer so complex, who is the designer of all of this order, of the dream of the dreamer in the dream that is life?
the background music, the narration, the captions, i love it! really captures the feeling of reading and experiencing poetry. i love this channel
Thank you man, I really appreciate it.
But that's no background music, it's loud as hell!
@@villebooks You're right there mate. I came here to listen to the poem. Unfortunately..........
I feel like if Edgar Allan Poe was still alive, he would absolutely LOVE this!
Thank you so much for giving me a sense of relief and warmth while im completely drowned in my exams
He made my heart weeps and my soul left wearing a garment of sorrow
May all your sorrows be gone
I read a great quote today
“Love comes, love goes, but life is only lived once”
حلم داخل حلم
I could rewatch these videos over and over. Thank you for bringing these poems to life in such a beautiful way
Hahah illneas marathon , thank you for your kind words.
Dreaming about where
My heart was left,
Trying to found yours.
Guess it will be forever lost
Until found by, what is yet again, left.
How beautiful your words..
This is one of my favorites works of Poe. Thank you for embellishing it with pleasing visuals and sounds.
Really appreciate the thought put and the creative process for making these in perfect harmony with the poems.
Also one of my favorite Poe works , thank you for sharing these kind words with me.
Oh God. His voice is so fitting for this poem. Very evocative❤
I love the quote "you are not wrong. Who deem that my days have been a dream" that's my favorite line from this poem. Also I've never heard this poem so thanks for another great one illneas keep up the good work. :)
Thank you Erik have a nice day
A TEAR IN THE SEA
An English Quintain
By PHILIP KENT CHURCH
~
When I think of all that’s real - my life seems so small,
Like dust trapped in Sunbeams - the years float, then flee.
So where am I in the deal - where’s destiny’s call?
When I think of my dreams - all that may, or never be,
All my life really seems - just like a tear in the sea.
That's beautiful
Beautiful 🌹💕 Thank you for sharing a piece of you🌹👏👏👏🌹
Damn ...wow...I'm thrown
I'm listening to a poem by Edgar Allan Poe for the first time and which caught my attention is your presentation.. Now I'm really moved by this.. Thank you so much.
Tom O'Bedlam was just magical. Nice video! I liked it, so I'll stay.
He truely is. He's that voice we all have in our heads. I can't even bother trying to hear poetry if its not Tom.
this is one of my favorite videos - I come back to it once every few months. thank you getting me into poetry.
Me too. It kind of saved me once. Or at least helped.
I just had this very "plastic bag in the wind" experience from the American Beauty movie. Thank you.
Keeping it (relatively) short this time, my friend! Another beautiful movie, another exceptional choice of poem, music & unobtrusive sound design, perfectly edited together. I'll be going over this several times over the next few days, in the knowledge that more subtle meaning will become apparent each time I return. Damn, you've got something special going on! Thank you for never letting us down. Much love, John.
Thank you once again John, I don't choose the length of the videos the poet does. I hope that you find the deeper meaning that you seek.
@@illneas Oh, sorry, think you may have misread my opening comment - I was referring to the length of my own response, as I know I tend to waffle on! Oops! The duration of your movies is not in question at all - better 30 seconds of something deeply meaningful that 30 minutes of vacuous clichés! Anyhoo, sorry for misleading you, bro. Easy mistake. Much more importantly, you've provided another bitter-sweet classic to chew on in your inimitable style. Thank you so much! Cheers! X
Edgar Allen Poe is such an incredible writer. Truly magnificent
He's my favourite author and poet, I love this.❤️
Im new to this poetry stuff and its completely sucked me in. I cant stop going through these poems. Iv developed such a joy for poems and writing in such a short amount of time its almost terrifying but im not afraid. I just love this shit now
You’re turning me inti a poetry fan!
The part about the sand at the end makes me think of someone trying to hold on to something and realizing change is inevitable. Asking if it’s all a dream with in a dream is like a question of if anything matter, if it all slips away in the end.
I've loved this man since I was a child.
My favorite poet!,! And one of my fav poems!
.... All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream !! 💝
I'm glad you uploaded my all time favorite
Wow is it your favorite ? Nice
@@illneas yeah !! All time :)
I seem unable to watch any of these poetry videos without breaking down at the minute. I guess some of the words just really, really hit home. Is it possible to be having a mid-life crisis at 31? My thoughts and emotions are all over the place at the minute.
The videography and voice-over really are top quality as well. I'm blown away by how perfect your videos are.
I do not want to believe that this deep philosophy emerged from a melancholic deep sadness, even though I have listened and read it thousands of times. "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" is a quote never forgetting unless a dream within a dream.
Your creativity and content is literally keeping me awake...🖤
this is melancholically beautiful. thank You so much for subtitles in Your videos so i can better understand what narrator is talking (english is not my first language) :).
That's comforting for me, thank you for sharing.
Like everyone these days thinking about life in this Not Normal , not new existence of life.
These are strange days not new but sadder now. I listen to music on youtube great source of comfort. Your site found me Alone is my poem. Poe wrote it for all of us. I remember reading it
my God 55 yrs ago thinking he knows how I feel, who I am, now who we all are. I loved the music and it being read it was a Dream within a Dream. Life really is a circle I'm 69 now I listened to Sean Lennon sing Isolation hard to grasp he's 45 that was a mind FUK n blower.
Thank you, what a beautiful surprise words and music together gonna look up Wolfpack. Love to all you've made a new old lady happy .
Poe would love it, I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this. Peace is yours.
the recitation is perfect and the choice of music couldn't have been more appropriate for this masterpiece
this kind of videos are gift for humanity
edgar allen poe is my favorite writer he’s so great
Let me say Thank you then to share this video..it is just 2 minutes video.....but you find the right clips to sync well with the words💖
Have a good weekend buddy💖
Thank you for your kind words, from the moment I started filming my videos, every clip matches better the theme of the poem
Another beautiful re-presentation of beauty via beauty.
Strummed the inner chords! 👌👌
Edgar Allan poetry has been my favorite since high school and I'm 46 now. I feel a kindred spirit and also same desire to write similar dark tales, fantasies, tragedies etc.
I have not been thus acquainted with something so beautiful in a long time. Such a work of art touches the deepest parts of the soul, and create a ripple in you like an echo calling out for more. Never stop, this is the beauty that's hidden in the world. Like a precious gem waiting to be unearthed. You deserve to be seen and heard!💖
You best piece yet!
I felt this so deeply.
Read this and felt it is a song, more than a poem. Surprised nobody has sung it!
Πολυ καλη δουλεια..πολυ καλη! Μπραβο...
This is perfect.
lovely !!
great video footage as the verses roll along...it suits the poem very well.
And as a new dream begins (2020)...I wish you & everyone all the best.
_May the dreams of this New Year be sprinkled with the promise of hope... more than the ones gone by._
That was lovely thank you.
Thank you!
Lovely! 🌺
This amazing short film really got me. Whenever I watch it, I just get into an other calm world, and I love it so so much
I know right? It's just simply amazing🌻
EAP steht für so etwas wie eine düstere Eleganz... für diese Vermischung von Tragik und Ästhetik auch... wonderful...
Edgar Allan poe is bascically linkin park of poetry❤️
I literally just finished watching inception and had this recommended..
Brilliant poem nonetheless!
I'm addicted to ur voice
very powerful 🥀
For some brilliance, you can only hope to approximate. Such is Edgar Allen Poe.
I really love that you can hear the almost desperation in the voice to be able to make some sort of difference, some sort of longing for this to be more than "a vision." At the end, that is, and at least how I interpret it. Thank you. A beautiful reading.
Beautiful. Thank you so much.
^^
So beautiful. Touching to my soul.
♥️
A sheer piece of Art!!!! I am amazed. It's : the voice, the arrangement, the recitation, camera, edit....that increased my love for the poem! Thanks!
This Greek street looks amazing!
Thanks man, I needed this...
^^
i read and analyzed this poem for school a few weeks back & it brought me to tears every time.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you!👍🏽
I don't know whether to appreciate the background music, the awe inspiring narration or the poet's words. Amazing!
I do love this poem
Lovely!!
Thank you!
It touched me!
This is a poem about how all is change and we will be forgotten. Heraclitus seems to have said it first. "The only constant is change." It could be we are all a dream in God's mind.
Thank you ♥️
Amazing videos. Much love
Thank you buddy ^^
... I see the tormented shore as Poe's vision of Life, the surf (waves) as each Day and the golden sands as grains in an hourglass (Time) that flow down inexorably to the final grain ... a sad life indeed
I just came from life is strange game, she mentioned Poe in her room saying "A dream within a dream".
Poe was incredible... he's predicted the matrix... a dream within a dream
Thank you.
One of my favorite poems by him. Know it by heart.
👁It’s clearer to hear that piano than to follow the narrative 💭🤷🏻♂️
Always loved this poem! And , I especially like the way you added the music , videos & the haunting voice! Beautiful! Thank you 😊👍🏼💕
Gosh, must've watched this one over 30 times now. It's so enchanting!
bravo!
^^
Thank you Illneas for your beautiful work ..
You're putting souls into blocks of words
Came across this beautiful and intriguing poem yesterday and have stumbled upon such an equally brilliant enunciation of it the very following day. Bliss it is.
Love the music
Okay I love this
^^
Amo Edgar Allan Poe ❤❤ from Brazil
So schön.Diese Stimme passt perfekt 🖤🍂
My favorite of his poetry…
I was born in the same hospital he died in. I’ve always had a strong connection to him and have visited his grave a number of times.
Esperaba con ansias ésto!! Muchas gracias ..thanks a lot!!! 💜
^^ thank you for watching
Amazing
Thank you
God that was beautiful
^^
The lines of this poem came back to me suddenly while falling asleep last night. I couldn't even remember where they'd come from even though I love Poe's works. They struck such a cord in me, in my mind that's been struggling and barely coping with what this year has brought. I don't know what this feeling is that it's brought, this poem, but I think it's a good thing that I remembered it now.
Omg.... you are doing it so great. I made quotes from poe.
Perfect
Love him ,since I'm a child & I read theRAVEN .....7️⃣🙋🌌👁️🕊️✝️🤦💥🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤
In a word, Yes.
