"Where there is no vision, the people perish." (Proverbs)
"The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth and earth to heaven; And as imagination bodies forth/ The form of things unknown, the poet's pen/ turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing/ A local habitation and a name." (William Shakespeare)
