I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls (我夢見我居住在大理石城堡) 是 1843 年歌劇 The Bohemian Girl 第二幕中的經典詠嘆調,歌曲背景是從小被綁架的奧地利貴族之女 Arline,愛上了波蘭流亡貴族 Thaddeus,並夢見自己居住在建材高雅的大理石造城堡內。1 X' u) [* d4 C% @2 r4 L7 K

1936 年,Laurel and Hardy (勞萊與哈弟) 系列電影之一 A Comedy Version of The Bohemian Girl 中,有一個 Jacqueline Wells 的版本很受歡迎,演唱的情緒也很契合歌劇中要表達的情境。Laurel and Hardy 兩人是早年台灣電影「王哥與柳哥」系列的原型,年代已久,鮮少年輕人知道,而這首詠嘆調,經愛爾蘭女歌手 Enya 在錄音室裡繁複雕琢與包裝後,變成一首空靈唯美的美聲作品。 % t6 n* X# y1 d: d6 a, l0 J : Z- M6 D$ K$ G" k# rhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bohemian_Girl* N5 T' Y$ J8 g. }; d$ P( f& e
