From what famous soliloquy is the title What Dreams May Come derived from?
What Dreams May Come (1983 novel) What Dreams May Come is a novel by American author Manly Wade Wellman. It is the second of three books featuring supernatural investigator John Thunstone. The book derives its title from a line in Hamlet's famous "To be, or not to be..." soliloquy.
Los (Blake) In the mythological writings of William Blake, Los is the fallen (earthly or human) form of Urthona, one of the four Zoas. He is referred to as the "eternal prophet" and creates the visionary city of Golgonooza. Los is regularly described as a smith, beating with his hammer on a forge, which is metaphorically connected to the beating of the human heart. The bellows of his forge are the human lungs. Los's emanation, Enitharmon, represents spiritual beauty and embodies pity, but at the same time creates the spatial aspect of the fallen world, weaving bodies for men and creating sexual strife through her insistence upon chastity. In the "Book of Urizen" (1794), Los and Enitharmon have the child, Orc, who is the embodiment of the spirit of revolution. The name "Los" is, by common critical acceptance, an anagram of "Sol", the Latin word for "sun". Such innovations are common in many of Blake's prophetic poems.
