“There is a place in men's lives where pictures do in fact bleed, ghosts gibber and shriek, maidens run forever through mysterious landscapes from nameless foes; that place is, of course, the world of dreams and of the repressed guilts and fears that motivate them [i.e., the unconscious]. This world the dogmatic optimism and shallow psychology of the Age of Reason had denied; and yet this world it is the final, perhaps the essential, purpose of the gothic romance to assert.” MenWorldReasonFactsDreamRunningAgeRomancePurposeCoursesForeverPsychologyThis WorldEssentialsOptimismGuiltFinalsGhostMysteriousLandscapeUnconsciousDeniedShallowFoeGothicMaidensRepressedNamelessDogmaticAge Of Reason Author:Leslie Fiedler
