Under the Trees and Elsewhere

CHAPTER XXII
14/33

We know henceforth how all dream-worlds, all beautiful hopes and visions and ideals, are fashioned.

They are not of human making; they but make visible things which already exist unseen; they but make audible sounds which are already vocal unheard.

He who dreams, sleeps, and another fills the chamber of his brain with moving figures; he who aspires, hopes and believes, unlocks the door, and another world, already furnished with beauty, lies before him.

Our ideals are God's realities.

We build the new worlds of our knowledge out of the dust of worlds already swinging in space; the stately homes of our imagination, rise on foundations of the common earth.
Prospero's island was made of common soil; flowers, trees, and grass grow on it as they grow about the homes of work and care.
