Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, And pause awhile from letters, to be wise.

Next Quote

If you notice an unconscious fantasy coming up within you, you would be wise not to interpret it at once. Do not say that you know what it is and force it into consciousness. Just let it live with you, leaving it in the half-dark, carry it with you and watch where it is going or what it is driving at.

— Marie-Louise von Franz
