Overlooking the hotel

Havelock Ellis

The World of Dreams (1922) · Printed page 38; normalized HTML paragraph block 93

I dreamed that I saw the hotel in question; its façade was not unlike that of a common type of hotel, but the roof was flat and at no very great height from the ground, so that I was able to overlook the building and see into all the windows, an arrangement that struck me as bad. My ability to overlook the building was not, however, accompanied by any perception of its diminutiveness.
