Why hello there Neoplatonism! Now if I could only work in a reference to the Dubliners Maloney Wants a Drink Id have a real paper on my hands here. Best image of myself and dearer half, The trouble of thy thoughts this night in sleep Affects me equally. Nor can I like This uncouth dream, of evil sprung I fear. Yet evil whence? In thee can harbor none, Created pure. But know that in the soul Are many lesser faculties that serve Reason as chief. Among these Fancy next Her office holds. Of all the external things Which the five watchful senses represent She forms imaginations, airy shapes Which Reason joining or disjoining frames All what we affirm or what deny and call Our knowledge or opinion, then retires Into her private cell when nature rests. Miltons Paradise Lost Book Five, lines 95-109 (Adam speaking to Eve after Satan approached her in a dream) youtu.be/33xoUI6KItU
