of visible secret visions

... our pounding heart drives us down, deep down to the source of all.
what springs from this source, whatever it may be called, dream, idea or phantasy - must be taken seriously only if it unites with the proper creative means to form a work of art.
then those dreams become realities -- realities of art which help to lift life out of its mediocrity.
for not only do they, to some extent, add more spirit to the seen, but they also make secret visions visible.
