Wild dreams! but such
As Plato lov'd; such as with holy zeal
Our Milton worshipp'd. Blessed hopes! awhile
From man with-held, even to the latter days
When Christ shall come, and all things be fulfill'd.

— Robert Southey

Thou hast been called, O sleep! the friend of woe;
But ’tis the happy that have called thee so.

The Curse of Kehama (1810)

Curses are like young chickens, they always come home to roost.
