Karl Marx, The 18th Brumaire of Napoleon Bonaparte (part 1):
The tradition of all dead generations rests like a nightmare on the minds of the living.
Die Tradition aller toten Geschlechter lastet wie ein Alp auf dem
Gehirne der Lebenden.
James Joyce, Ulysses (1.1):
History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.
