關於愛，我是個小學生。

imagination (adapted)

by george santayana (1863~1952)

men are ruled by imgination: imagination makes them in men, capable of madness and of immese labours. we work dreaming. consider what dreams must have dominated the builders of the pyramids, dreams geometrical, dreams funereal, dreams of resurrction, dreams of outdoing the pyramid of some other pharoah! what dreams occupy that fat man in the street, toddling by under his shabby hat and bedraggled rain-coat? perhaps he is in love; perhaps he is a catholic, and imagines that early this moring he has partaken of the body and blood of Christ; perhaps he is a revolutionist, with the millennium in his heart and a bomb in his pocket. the spirit blows where it pleases. nothing could be madder, more irresponsible, more dangerous than this guidance of men by dreams.
