Famous quotes containing the words realms and/or unreal:
“There is a god within us, and the heavens
Have intercourse with earth; from realms above
That spirit comes.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“In the one instance, the dreamer ... loses sight of this object in a wilderness of deductions and suggestions ... until ... he finds the incitamentum, or first cause of his musings,... forgotten. In my case, the primary object was invariably frivolous, although assuming, through the medium of my distempered vision, a refracted and unreal importance.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
