love, and agreed misunderstanding/imaginings (aragon)

A fiction like this, for people who fail to see in it the reverse side of our several existences, will seem infantile. Make no mistake: the imagination never goes unrequited; this is the first giant step toward an achievement, and the myth would lead those few people who had presided over its birth a long way indeed.
