persons in their sleep 2: nightmare 3: one that oppresses or burdens like a

“May you live in interesting times,” was the benediction
from the elderly Chinese priest to the inattentive occidental tourist. The

Canton, the parting phrase began to prey on the tourist’s mind like an
incubus…pushing him close to the edge of snapping his reason.
