I'm not sure how I did this, but somehow when replying to one of the comments on my snippet, I managed to delete it. Well, for the sake of completeness, I'm sticking it back here at the end, but the comments are up above under the "deleted comment" bar. :X
Scattered across the months, there had been dreams, scented with half-heard words. They had left behind an odd cheer that would last for days, but they had been without form. It had surprised John, that the visual realism of his nightmares had never lent his dreams a single pale curve. He had yearned to see, had suffered for not seeing. The lamp in the corner had a halo around it. John brushed a hand over his eyes.

Sorry about that!
