Night Thinking Bed

More From Samuel Johnson

At the center, where a cuckoo bird would live in a more traditional timepiece, is the juggler. dressed in harlequin style with a grey mask, he juggles shiny silver balls that correspond to each hour. as the clock chimes, another ball joins the rest until at midnight he juggles twelve balls in a complex pattern. after midnight the clock begins once more to fold in upon itself. the face lightens and the clouds return. the number of juggled balls decreases until the juggler himself vanishes. by noon it is a clock again, and no longer a dream.
Dream Numbers Clouds
Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock asnot going wrong. the first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. if not a watch's greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.

In bed we laugh, in bed we cry, and born in bed, in bed we die; the near approach a bed may show of human bliss to human woe.
Laughter Laughing Bed
Sometimes you say things with a smile with the precise intention of making it clear that you are not being serious, and are only kidding. if i salute a friend with a smile and say, "how are you, you old scoundrel!" clearly i don't really mean he's a scoundrel.
Mean Serious Sometimes

Drama Mean Thinking
We all run on two clocks. one is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season. the other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.

Senator douglas holds, we know, that a man may rightfully be wiser today than he was yesterday - that he may rightfully change when he finds himself wrong. but can we, for that reason, run ahead, and infer that he will make any particular change, of which he, himself, has given no intimation?
