In a dream of the night season ...was I shown for the sake of measure ...and discernment ...a hidden thing ...against lovers ...
And I found myself rejected by an lover ...who had been a lover in the past ...yet now had put me afar off plainly ...and I knew not why ...for the reason and the matters thereof escaped me ...for I had been all that I knew of truth and love and kindness ...for her ...and in all things was my conscience at peace before God ...discerning my love and caring for her ...Yet she rejected me and I knew not why ...and she stood in heart far away from me ...and she kept me far from her and far from her heart ...and spoke words aginst me ...for I had in some way offended ...but I knew not why ...
And I was shown her coat ...and it was a very worthy coat ...and had in times past held her warmly and did comfort her ....yet to her... the coat had become old ...and though old, the coat still would keep her cozy, snug, warm and comfortable, and though the fasteners still held her gently and kindly ...she was ever unhappy with wearing the coat ...for the coat had become old and had lost its newness ...for she had stopped caring for it ...stopped mending it ...and filled its pockets with reciepts from movies, returants, plays and concerts...even still as her friends had told her as such ...and her friends picked at and pointed at the worried and worn-out places on her coat ...saying to her :"how can you be comfortable in with such an old coat as this ?"...and isn't inbarassing (in) to be seen with it on ? and so she found in her own heart ...such unhappiness with the coat ...and found agreement with her friends and became more and more uncomfortable with the old coat ...till she would have little to do with it; or the one who had given her the covering... when it was new ....when it was new... when they were new to each other ...and so she ever sought to find ...a new coat ...and I knew she would find one ...or live hating the one ...she had but didn't want anymore ...
And now it was... that this was shown... that the mans love for the woman ...had become old to her ...and he stood afar off ...being put off ...slowly by every thought, word and deed ...or deed undone ...that the man becomes friendless ...and an gaping emptiness in his heart ...begins as the love that once was shared in hearts ... is drained away ...by worldliness ...and he ever wondered why ? ...for money could not buy the new coat she wanted ...
