Question SA-15. Here is the text reference (p. 157/2 & 3):
Then Queen Mab, from the depths of her chariot made from a single pearl,
took a blue veil, almost imperceptible to the touch, as if shaped by sighs,
or of the gaze of blond and pensive angels. And that veil was the veil of
dreams, of sweet dreams, which make life rose-colored. And with it she wrapped
the four thin, bearded and impertinent men. And they stopped being sad,
because hope entered their bosoms, and the joyful sun entered their heads,
with the little devil of vanity, which comforts poor artists in their profound
disillusionments.
And since that time, in the garrets of the unhappy brilliant ones, where
the blue dream floats, they think of the future as if it were a new dawn,
and we hear the laughter which wipes away sadness, and we see them dancing
strange happy dances around a white Apollo, around a pretty landscape, around
an old violin, and around a yellowing manuscript.
