Visions"So little distant dangers seem: So we mistake the futures face, Eyd thro Hopes deluding glass; As yon summits soft and fair, Clad in colours of the air, Which to those who journey near, Barren, brown, and rough appear."
"Gorgons, and Hydras, and Chimæras dire."
"The peoples prayer, the glad diviners theme! The young mens vision, and the old mens dream!"
"Circa beatitudinem perfectam, quæ in Dei visione consistit."
"The vision you saw was real, but what you saw in the vision wasn’t."
"Myth is a story of a vision; it is a presentation of that vision told in terms of the vision’s symbols, characters, chronology, and import. It is a vehicle of transmission, of sharing, of renewal, and as such plays an integral part in the ongoing psychic life of a people."
"O visions ill foreseen! Better had I Livd ignorant of future, so had borne My part of evil only."
