What happened overnight

 

 

What happened overnight to memory?
A snowfall happened, did it?  Silence itself.
In vain my soul made oblivion its study:
before waking that problem solved itself.
 
A solution simple, elegant
(about what have I so long beat my head?).
To get up seems a thing one need not want:
there is no body, nor is there a bed.

 

Vladimir Nabokov
