The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love.
He who binds to himself a joy does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies lives in eternity’s sun rise.
Without contraries there is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.
Man was made for joy and woe, and when this we rightly know through the world we safely go.
