rum 9J5? CUPOLA Foreword D O you remember the Kingdom of the Future in the “Bluebird”? There was a dream last night ... it was the Palace of the Unborn Thoughts, just this side the inkpot. Vague whiteness first, with wisps of silvery mist-sleep and sudden clear vistas all peopled with strange crowds of Thoughts — some huddled together, tiny wee ones, drab and shadowy gray — with funny little pug- nosed things called Puns; some slept, and they were wan and white, and there wxre hosts of laughing scarlet ones, butterfly-winged, that fluttered delicately, teasinglv, just out of reach. One sat on a high gold throne in serene and beautiful dignity — a royal thought, of love, perhaps, or God And then a gay parade of quite young Make- Believes came by, passed on, and one, quite faded lavender, was left alone — and wept. A bubble, iridescent, shining, drifted down — and broke. Far, far off in the dim blue, timeless distance was a shining crystal door — a crystal door of words — and all the Thoughts looked toward it, and there was breathlessness, and waiting waiting . . . The dream faded . . . And as you thread your way through these pages, on the other side of the inkpot, you will meet some of the thoughts that stepped through the crystal door . . . “I will leave you alone now. You will be more at ease by yourselves ...” — The Editor ✓ 9
