…the dream departed, leaving him there, his heart racing with hopes that would not come to pass.
Agamemnon's dream, The Illiad (Book Two, line 40, Robert Fagles' translation)
A commonplace book: an old-fashioned literary diary for recording interesting items from reading you've done. I use mine to record snippets from reading, conversation and life in general. (The early 2003 entries are from a period some years ago -- before the blog age -- when I tried an online commonplace book as a straight web page.)
