As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place, where was a den; and I laid me down in that place to sleep: and as I slept I dreamed a dream. I dreamed, and behold I saw a man clothed with rags, standing in a certain place, with his face from his own house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back. I looked, and saw him open the book, and read therein; and as he read, he wept and trembled: and not being able longer to contain, he brake out with a lamentable cry; saying, 'What shall I do?' β¨ John Bunyan (1813). The Pilgrim's Progress, from this World, to that which is to Come ... with Notes, Interesting Memoirs of the Author, Character of the Pilgrim's Progress, and a Key to the Whole Work ... by Various Eminent Men, p.1
