Reminds me of a sonnet by Milton. Milton was blind and his first wife died while they were still married: he wrote this about a dream he once had when sleeping in which he briefly caught a glimpse of her face, before being dragged back to 'day', which for him meant seeing nothing at all. 'But O as to embrace me she enclin'd, I wak'd, she fled, and day brought back my night.' http://www.dartmouth.edu/~milton/reading_room/sonnets/sonnet_23/index.shtml |
