Edgar Allen poe

AnswerEdgar Allen poe

--------------------------------------------

If it was E.A.Poe, it's either plagiarism or parody. The first part of this is a misquote of W.H.Davies [1870-1940] in a poem called Leisure.

What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?

The second part is in Hamlet's famous speech that begins 'To be or not to be...'and later has these words:

"To die - to sleep

To sleep! perchance to dream...."

In the 20th century there was a musical by Noël Coward [or was it Ivor Novello?] called Perchance to Dream.
