Life and the world are the dream of a drunken god, who steals away from the banquet and falls asleep on a solitary star, unaware that he creates what he dreams......And the images of his dreams appear, at times a motley extravagance. at others harminous and rational....The iliad, Plato, the battle of Marathon, the Venus di Medici, the French revolution, Hegel, steamships, all all are thoughts that emerge from his long dream. But one day the god will wake, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he will smile, and our world will sink into oblivion, as if none of it had ever existed
