“... unreal things have a reality of their own, in poetry as elsewhere.”
“God and the imagination are one.”
“The imagination is man's power over nature.”
“Reality is the beginning not the end,Naked Alpha, not the hierophant Omega, Of dense investiture, with luminous vassals.”
“in the presence of extraordinary actuality, consciousness takes the place of imagination.”
