Скачать или смотреть When Dreams Loved Muses | Morpheus & Calliope

Within the realm of The Sandman, some stories are written in the stars, but even stars can burn.
This is the tale of Dream of the Endless — Morpheus, the lord of stories, sleep, and shadows — and Calliope, the Muse of Epic Poetry, whose voice once inspired gods and mortals alike.

They were lovers long ago, bound by inspiration and sorrow. But even love in the Dreaming is not safe from pride, distance, and time.

After centuries apart, Calliope is imprisoned by a mortal, and it is Dream — hardened by pain, yet not untouched — who comes to her aid. What follows is not a reunion of comfort, but one of recognition, forgiveness, and eternal echo.

This video is a tribute to their tragic, mythic love — the muse and the dream who once walked as one.

Poem: “Of Ink and Dust”
by Glenn Riley

A duet of regret and memory

CALLIOPE:
I sang your name in ancient stone,
Where stars were born and words were grown.
You gave me silence, cold and wide,
Then vanished deep in dream and pride.

MORPHEUS:
You were the flame I could not hold,
A song too mortal, fierce, and bold.
I made the world forget your face,
To spare myself that sacred place.

CALLIOPE:
I danced in cages, bled in rhyme,
Still dreaming of a god in time.
And when you came with shadowed eyes,
The chains were gone, but not goodbyes.

MORPHEUS:
If I could shape regret like night,
I’d weave you peace in strands of light.
But I am Dream, and you are Muse,
And time unravels what we choose.

BOTH (together):
We are a wound that still creates,
A tale that neither fate nor hate negates.
Though we are lost, though we are free,
You once inspired the dream in me.
