Parabola's Spring 1982 issue: Sleep Sleep replenishes the energy necessary for ordinary life--we must sleep well in order to wake well--but unless some of the energy is contained, and reserved for another current of life, we might always live in sleep and never awaken. We are called to awaken, writes Mircea Eliade. He quotes from the Ginza, "Let him who hears wake from heavy sleep." And from a Mandaean text, "Slumber not nor sleep, and forget not that which thy Lord hath charged thee." --from the editorial Focus Cover: Reclining Buddha, Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka Photograph by Thomas Merton In this issue: "'Why Sleepest Thou, O Lord?" by Henri Tracol - States of being and stages of awakening "Mythologies of Sleep and Forgetting" by Mircea Eliade - The mortal "sleep" of the fallen soul "Life's a Dream" - An excerpt from Kathleen Raine's translation of Calderon's play "Sleep and the Inner Landscape" - An interview with Dr. Yeshi Dhonden by William and Marielle Segal Arcs - A portfolio of sleep quotations "Krishna and King Mucukunda: The Sleeper Awakened" by Heinrich Zimmer - King Mucukunda's cosmic sleep, newly translated into English "Lines to a Granny" by A.
