This chapter's epigraph is from a famous poem by a famous poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Longfellow's poem is entitled "Invisible Man," and it describes a man who is invisible because he is unable to see his own reflection in the mirror. In this poem, a man is described as being invisible when he is not looking at the mirror, because he cannot see the reflection of another man's reflection. In order to protect himself from the mirror reflection, the man must keep his eye on another man, who is also invisible to him. In the poem, the narrator tells the reader that he is invisible to the other man because he does not know the man. The narrator then tells the audience that the man in question is not invisible at all, but rather, he is the result of a dream in which he sees a vision of a beautiful woman and a fat man. This vision causes the narrator to realize that his dream is not a dream at all; it is a reality.
