Setting the record straight

Now that I've had my doggy fun with D. H. Lawrence's poem, Dreams, I thought it time to share the REAL poem with you. Lawrence was a controversial man in his day. I wonder what he would think of my mischievous use of his poem. I think he'd enjoy it, considering his " tendency to ascribe human emotions to animals and even inanimate objects."

Dreams

All people dream, but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind,
Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity.

But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people,
For they dream their dreams with open eyes,
And make them come true.

Poem by: D.H.Lawrence
