These things seem small and undistinguishable,
Like far-off mountains turnèd into clouds.
– William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 4, Scene 1. Morning has arrived and the fairy charms have worn off for the four Athenian lovers. Standing alone in the morning light, they begin to consider what has happened to them. Demetrius is confused and doesn’t know if everything is real or not. Using a simile, he compares what happened to distant mountains touching the sky, you can’t tell what is mountain and what is cloud.
