Blue Morpho Symphony
“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and hither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. Between the man and the butterfly there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things.”
