Childhood lasts all through life.

Air is the very substance of our freedom, the substance of superhuman joy.... aerial joy is freedom.

The image can only be studied through the image, by dreaming images as they gather in reverie. It is a non-sense to claim to study imagination objectively since one really receives the image only if he admires it. Already in comparing one image to another, one runs the risk of losing participation in its individuality.

Imagination is a tree. It has the integrative virtues of a tree. It is root and boughs. It lives between earth and sky. It lives in the earth and the wind. The imagined tree imperceptibly becomes a cosmological tree, the tree which epitomises a universe, which makes a universe.

The past of the soul is so distant! The soul does not live on the edge of time. It finds its rest in the universe imagined by reverie.
