Awake, awake my little Boy!
Thou wast thy Mother’s only joy:
Why dost thou weep in thy gentle sleep?
Awake! thy Father does thee keep.
“O, what land is the Land of Dreams?
What are its mountains, and what are its streams?
O Father, I saw my Mother there,
Among the lillies by waters fair.
Among the lambs clothed in white
She walked with her Thomas in sweet delight.
I wept for joy, like a dove I mourn –
O when shall I return again?”
Dear child, I also by pleasant streams
Have wandered all night in the Land of Dreams;
But though calm and warm the waters wide,
I could not get to the other side.
“Father, O Father, what do we here,
In this land of unbelief and fear?
The Land of Dreams is better far
Above the light of the Morning Star.”

Lilith & Wednesday at Griffith Park.
Last night, I had a dream that Ted took a hiatus from Trading Post to go back to photography. In my dream, I found an attic (basement? vault?) full of old, never-before-seen fairy tale and Lovecraftian paintings and illustrations, I showed them to Teddy, and he spent months translating the art we dug up into a massive fashion editorial. Ted was using a daguerreotype, a 19th century box camera, and my dad’s 35mm Nikon, and his studio was our living room, but wasn’t. Ted’s photos looked like a hybrid of Ted’s style of photography and Eugenio Recuenco’s. He eventually turned the project into a sort of phantasmagoria, complete with spectres and Pepper’s ghosts.
What did you dream about last night?
