What is literature but the expression of moods by the
vehicle of symbol and incident? And are there not moods which need heaven,
hell, purgatory, and faeryland for their expression, no less than this
dilapidated earth? Nay, are there not moods which shall find no expression
unless there be men who dare to mix heaven, hell, purgatory, and faeryland
together, or even to set the heads of beasts to the bodies of men, or to thrust
the souls of men into the heart of rocks? Let us go forth, the tellers of
tales, and seize whatever prey the heart long for, and have no fear. Everything
exists, everything is true, and the earth is only a little dust under our feet.
W.B. Yeats
