View Larger For Summit on Information, UN Headquarters Displays Laser Messages by United Nations Photo on Flickr.
On Human Rights Day a “No Slavery” message is projected onto the north wall of the UN Secretariat building, part of a media-art installation by Swiss artist Johannes Gees. The laser-beamed message also calls attention to the UN’s first-ever World Summit on the Information Society, held this week, 10-12 December.

A Dream Within A Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
Edgar Allan Poe
