On Imagination...

"Behold the greatest magician in the universe: It is she who makes  the memory yield it's fruit.  Who realizes before hand the possible and invents even the impossible. To her,  miracles cost nothing. She transports houses and mountains through the air, places whales in the sky and stars in the seas. Gives paradise to the hashish or opium to the ether, offers kingdoms,  inebriates and makes pirouette dances with joy under the mild pale. Such is imagination."
