“Imagination seems to come fast and true in the morning and evening light, the bookends of the day, shifting as books come and go like moments in time.

It realizes what everything is in its many aspects ... Imagination does not uplift: we don't want to be uplifted, we want to be more completely aware.”

To high to breathe free, after such a climb—
Had lost its power; but now, just like a wheel

That moves the sun and all the stars above.”

Human beings take shape from clay, angels' wings are spun out of water, fire gives rise to the long tongues of demons, love emerges out of thin air, and the basic elements reconstitute themselves again and again.”
