Write a summary of the following poem :
All people dream, but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind,
Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity.
But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people,
For they dream their dreams with open eyes,
And make them come true.
The author implies about the importance of dreams in one life. There are 2 types of dreamers. Firstly who dream in the day. They are the dangerous people according to the author. They work to make their dream come true. On the other hand, those who dream at night after waking up in the morning they find it vanity.

Sorry I broke the cup – I couldn’t help it. |
Can’t help can be followed by but + infinitive (without to), with the same meaning as can’t help verb + ing. This is common in American English.
I can’t help but wonder what I should do next. |
