Description
But every night I go abroad, Afar into the land of nod...
It is clear that weird and wonderful things present themselves in this strange nocturnal land- the imagery is surreal yet playful, perfectly evoking aspects of the subconscious- but the overall message is that the young boy is in charge and he has the power to take control of the situation at will.
