“I saw, not with the eyes of the body, but with those of the mind, my own figure coming towards me, on horseback and on the same road, dressed in a dress I had never worn, it was pike gray , with something gold. As soon as I shook myself out of this dream, the figure completely disappeared.”
From: Dichtung und Wahrheit - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
