Metaphor in Context
I went to bed, after having written thus far, reflecting, that no man should be entitled to a second existence--I mean in our mortal state—without having made a proper use of the first. This reflection was so strongly impressed upon my mind, that T'was able to employ the succeeding morning in setting down the particulars of a dream occasioned by it.
