Delirium is a fictional character from Neil Gaiman's comic book series The Sandman. She is one of The Endless, a group of beings who embody powerful forces or aspects of the universe, and are much more powerful than gods.
Delirium, known to the Greek culture as Maniae, is the youngest of the Endless, yet still older than the rest of existence. She is usually quite short, and thin, and looks no older than a fourteen-year-old human girl. One of her eyes is silver-flecked blue, and the other is green. Her hair changes style and color constantly, as do her clothes. Her shadow never reflects her shape, and is tangible, like velvet. She is said to smell of sweat, late nights, sour wine, and old leather. Her sigil in the galleries of the other Endless is a multicolored, abstract swirl. Her realm is a chaotic, constantly changing mass of colors and strange objects and shapes, and contains a sundial with the inscription "Tempus Frangit" ("time breaks," a Latin pun on the phrase "Tempus Fugit", "time flees".) Delirium travels with a "guardian" of sorts, a dog named Barnabas, on indefinite loan from her brother Destruction. At one point Delirium briefly appears as hundreds of colorful fish similar to Morpheus appearing as a cat or fox.
Due to the lack of Sandman Chronicles videos on youtube I am going to start making some. My 1st will be a set of tributes to The Endless siblings starting with the youngest Delirium who used to be Delight. No I am not going in any particular order. DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Sandman Chronicles those belong to Neil Gaiman and their respective artists nor do I own the song Field of Innocence that belongs to Amy Lee, Evanescence, and Eyeball records, I also do not plan on profitting in anyway off of this video it is for mere fan enjoyment. So please enjoy! (The art featured herein that is not from the comics was found on google images & Deviantart and belongs to their respective artists. Also it is amazing) This is my very first slideshow or tribute video so any feedback is necessary. Be ho...

Music by Fernando Benadon Stephanie Ray (flute/piccolo), Gleb Kanasevich (clarinet/bass clarinet), John WIlson (piano) delight/delirium is a musical portrait of Delirium, youngest of the seven Endless siblings in Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic book series. Known first as Delight, Delirium's unpredictable states of mind and emotion are tinged with a psychedelic sense of naiveté and incongruity.

Twenty-five years since THE SANDMAN changed the landscape of modern comics, Neil Gaiman's legendary series is back! THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE heralds New York Times best-selling writer Neil Gaiman's return to the art form that made him famous, ably abetted by artistic luminary JH Williams III (BATWOMAN, PROMETHEA), whose lush, widescreen images provide an epic scope to The Sandman's origin story. From the birth of a galaxy to the moment that Morpheus is captured, THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE will feature cameo appearances by fan-favorite characters such as The Corinthian, Merv Pumpkinhead and, of course, the Dream King's siblings: Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium, Destruction and Destiny. "People have often asked me what happened to Morpheus to make it possible for him to be captured in THE SANDMAN...
My entry for the Myths and Legends contest is based off a character from the comic series by Neil Gaiman, The Sandman. The Sandman features 5 distinct mythological characters called the Endless: Desire, Dream, Destruction, Death, and my character, Delirium. They each have their own separate relm, yet have ties to the Earth and humans, connected by their own specific traits. Delirium is a sister to the other Endless, the youngest, yet the oldest at the same time. She was once Delight, but turned into Delirium when she was left at the alter on her wedding day. She's colorful, kooky, dresses a bit like a punk, is child-like, loves animals and travels with her guardian dog, Barnabas. She has a hard time expressing herself and speaks in quirky, often hard to decipher wordplay. She is, in a ...
delirium/sandman
Stuck in a stalemate
The struggle to breathe and live
We increase the dosage
To cope with the pressure
Free me from the pain
Never again
That's what we say
Delirium
Nauseous convulsions
Deflecting our fears
We stare at the answers
But swallow the questions
Take me away
Cannot resist
Day after day
Delirium
Life is hell
Bitterness is all I taste
Drug hazed memories
