I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream - past the wit of man to say what dream it was: man is but an ass, if he go about to expound this dream.... Methought I was, and methought I had - but man is but a patched fool, if he will offer to say what methought I had.... It shall be called Bottom's dream, because it hath no bottom.


A Midsummer-night's Dream (pp. 72-73), Houghton Mifflin & Co. 1903
