Imagination is more important than knowledge
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
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will
Nothing is more fearful than imagination without taste
Few people have the imagination for reality
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is
The imagination imitates. It is the critical spirit that creates
But thou that didst appear so fair
To fond imagination,
Dost rival in the light of day
Her delicate creation.

Yarrow Visited

Upon a woman won or a woman lost?

That the future years had come,
Dancing to a frenzied drum,
Out of the murderous innocence of the sea.

Michael Robartes and the Dancer, 1921. A Prayer for My Daughter
