  Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
  Enwrought with golden and silver light,
  The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
  Of night and light and the half light,
  I would spread the cloths under your feet:
  But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
  I have spread my dreams under your feet;
  Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Yeah, it hurts the first time, and also the second, third, fourth. In time it will qualify as a "life experience," though. Dubiously reassuring as that may seem.
