“Namely, precognition is not some rare and extraordinary occurrence that only signals us about catastrophes or major upheavals, nor is it a rare talent possessed by just a few among us. Instead, precognitive dreams are common, probably nightly affairs that go almost entirely unnoticed for a number of interesting reasons. Contrary to a common belief, precognitive dreams are seldom ‘numinous’—they don’t announce themselves. And they are also imperfect—they are very rarely video-quality.”

Presentiment

Léon Spilliaert

Water colour, lavis in India ink and colour pencil on paper, 1902

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Teller often used to translate into German verses by the Hungarian poet Ady, a great favourite of his. One of these translations, which were never published, seems full of the presentiment of an existence which Teller and other research workers in atomic physics were fated to lead.

The Lord takes all whom he strikes and loves,

he bears them far from Earth . . .

their hearts aflame, their brains made ice,

Earth sends her laughter up to them

and, compassionate, the sun strews diamond dust

upon their lonely way.

"Brighter than a Thousand Suns: A Personal History of the Atomic Scientists" - Robert Jungk, translated by James Cleugh

Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn Indicative that suns go down; The notice to the startled grass That darkness is about to pass.

Emily Dickinson, from “XVI”

On Beulah's hills she wanders now, On Eden's tranquil plain; To her shall Jane hereafter go, She ne'er shall come to Jane!
