Last Night As I Was Sleeping (2nd verse)

Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt -- marvelous error!—
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.

-Antonio Machado

*My friend Shannon knows a lot of Spanish (I'd say she's fluent, but she's probably say she isn't) and she was telling me that translation of poetry includes thinking about the way the words sound, so some of the words aren't direct translations...
"Marvellous error" can also be "blessed illusion"...."Failure" is "Bitternesses, sorrows"
I love either set of words, I love this idea so much.
