Jung from 'Man and His Symbols.'"I know that this is a world of imagination and vision. I see everything I paint in this world, but everybody does not see alike." ~ William Blake, quoted in 'Mysticism' by Evelyn Underhill.“To think of me is sweeter than honey, to possess me sweeter than the honeycomb.
