#3 - A poem about dreams and our slippery grasp on them

In this episode, I read the poem - "Dream" by Jorge Luis Borges. It is a short poem, written in free verse. When you read it you recognise the poet's delight in the beauty of the process and his frustration at the inability to recollect all the fragments. Whether you are a prolific dreamer or not, this one is sure to enchant you with its simplicity and the next time you wake up struggling to remember a vivid dream, you will be reminded of this poem. I read from the book of poems from the author that I possess, but you can read this one here - https://www.math.uci.edu/~vbaranov/nicetexts/eng/Dream.html The host, Ravneet Bawa as - @one_third_above on Instagram @maikeya on Twitter Email: ravneet_bawa@icloud.com
