Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today

Unfortunately, James Joyce wrote the explanation so he remains a mystery to normal folk.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Asimov always gave me a headache.  Then again, I stopped trying to read him in 7th grade.
