labellementeuseThis one is by Clive Barker, and it's the poem on the cover of Abarat,, which I'd thouroughly recommend; I don't think it has a title, the site I found it on had it as "Preface to Abarat."
I dreamed a limitless book,
A book unbound,
Its leaves scattered in fantastic abundance.
On every line there was a new horizon drawn,
New heavens supposed;
New states, new souls.
On of those souls,
Dozing through some imagined afternoon,
Dreamed these words.
And needing a hand to set them down,
Made mine.
I really like this one... not sure why. It just.. mmm. I don't know, it reads like a library. Or a book shop. Or like my bookshelves above the bunk, which I've stuffed with everythign I've read at least twice. (And I jsut redid them and have them all luvverly, too...)
