The metaphor is~ an origin, the origin of an image which acts directly, immediately.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
Cosmic reveries separate us from project reveries. They situate us in a world and not in a society. The cosmic reverie possesses a sort of stability or tranquility. It helps us escape time. It is a state.

One doesn't read poetry while thinking of other things.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
Nobody knows that in reading we are re-living our temptations to be a poet. All readers who have a certain passion for reading, nurture and repress, through reading, the desire to become a writer.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
To verify images kills them, and it is always more enriching to imagine than to experience.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
Childhood lasts all through life. It returns to animate broad sections of adult life... Poets will help us to find this living childhood within us, this permanent, durable immobile world.
