I have never quite gotten the juxtapositioning of the first and last words, always tried, rarely succeeded. This, however, is admirably done...thank you.

Answer 2

Delightful - it almost makes me want to write one myself!

Answer 3

A wispy, milky white image given. New idea of day dreams "caught" in the night by candles. Well said. ♥

Answer 4

`Day dreams caught in the night' is an astonishing inversion of considerable beauty.
