“Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of Thought. The Imagination can transcend them and move in a free sphere of ideal existence. Things, also, are in their essence what we choose to make them. A thing is, according to the mode in which one looks at it. ‘Where others,’ says Blake, ‘see but the Dawn coming over the hill, I see the sons of God shouting for joy.’”

Yes, I agree, but at this moment in the the Republican primary season here in the United States, I would probably alter Blake’s idea a bit and say that when I see the self-proclaimed GOP “sons of God shouting” for the continued destruction of the middle class, I can only hope that the dawn will continue to come over the hill each day.
