Somnium

An eventide elixir of aromatics to bring deep relaxation and restful sleep – French lavender, green cardamon, neroli, Irish moss, vetiver root, and opopanax. Till, lo! the atramental veil of night That, stifling, hung about, behind, before, Was sudden parted by some unseen hand, And on my vision leapt a marvelous sight - A green and joyous plain, with fair skies o'er, The Dream-god's sunlight-drenched, enchanted land. ~ Clark Ashton Smith Art: Sleep and His Half-Brother Death, by John William Waterhouse, 1874
