Rimbaud has just left Hobbiton.

Not rating my own facility, in many things, but in this situation, to encourage you, I shall borrow the words of others:

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.


~ William Blake

Consolation from imaginary things is not an imaginary consolation. ~ Roger Scruton

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." ~ Albert Einstein

Remember also Rimbaud:
Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.

Do not be undult worried by those of a stolid personality. The world is not for them to enjoy. Yet temper your fancies when circumstances demand; tailor your whims to fit the cut of some passing hours, for those who have their heads in the clouds cause fear, for they are very tall.
