Show "That First Invented Sleep." "Now blessings light on him that Brst invented this same sleep! It covers cov-ers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap; and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool amd the wise man even. There is only one thing, which somebody once put into my head, that I dislike in sleep it is that it resembles re-sembles death. There Is very little difference between a man in his first Bfleep and a man in his last sleep." From Cervantes. |
