“Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices,
That, if I then had waked after long sleep
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.”  – The Tempest

The above quote is the excerpt Kenneth Branagh gave at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics last night.  It seemed a good quote to use this morning, for two reasons.  One, it introduces the pageantry of the upcoming games well, and two, it ends by wishing a return to one’s dreams.  I stayed up too late last night watching the opening ceremonies after the kid went to bed, thus, I could sooo use a return to sleep and my dreams right now…
