Byrons Dream

A wanderer rests among ancient columns in a scene from Byron's poem The Dream, 1816. An illustration of the lines and in the last he lay Reposing from the noontide sultriness, Couched among fallen columns, in the shade Of ruined walls that had survived the names Of those who reared them; by his sleeping side Stood camels grazing, and some goodly steeds Were fastened near a fountain; and a man, Glad in a flowing garb, did watch the while, While many of his tribe slumbered around: And they were canopied by the blue sky'. Engraved for The Eclectic Magazine by J. Sartain after a painting by J. D. Harding. (Photo by Kean Collection/Getty Images)
