« Don’t get too close to your dreams:
They are smoke that can disperse
They are dangerous and can remain.
Have you looked your dreams in the eyes:
They are sick and understand nothing
They only have their own thoughts. Don’t get too close to your dreams:
They are lies, they should go away
They are madness for those who want to stay. » (Edith Södergran)

“Don’t get too close to your dreams:
These are smoke which can disperse. They are dangerous and can remain.
Have you looked your dreams in the eyes :
They are sick and don’t understand anything
They only have their own thoughts.
Don’t get too close to your dreams :
These are lies, they should go away
These are madness for anyone who wants to stay. »
