When I was reading a text about dreams, I saw this quote. It’s the first time I saw “more of” in a sentence so I can’t understand the whole sentence. Can someone please help me?
“Dreams are real while they last — can we say more of life?”
Answer
To simply state it, the line just means
Life is no more than a dream
Under the context of the given sentence, the author, Havelock Ellis, quantifies a dream as an event which is real till it lasts. He then also implies that life is also the same and does not differ in a significant way. He asks a leading question can we say more of life? with an embedded answer as “no, we cannot” to indicate this.
