The world, as imagination sees it, is the real world. Not facts, but figments of the imagination, shape our daily lives. It is exact and literal-minded who live in a fictitious world. Only imagination can restore the Eden from which experience has driven us out. Imagination is the sense by which we perceived the above, the power by which we resolve vision into being. Every stage of man’s progress is made by the exercise of the imagination. It is only because men do not perfectly imagine and believe that their results are sometimes uncertain when they might always be perfectly certain. Determined imagination is the beginning of all successful operations. The imagination, alone, is the means of fulfilling the intention.
