The Loom of Dreams
‘I broider the world upon a loom,
I broider with dreams my tapestry;
Here in a little lonely room
I am master of earth and sea,
and the planets come to me.’
- A. Symons, The Loom of Dreams

Hell of a Journey
Here is the start and here is the end
Of many a mountain day,
And what do we buy that we should spend
Our time this tinker way.
We buy what never the fool shall please
Nor over the knave have power,
The things that are one with the wind and the trees
And a fire at Altanour.
- Sydney Scroggie

Vargtimmen
“I call myself an artist for a lack of a better name. In my creative work there is nothing implicit, except compulsion. Through no fault of my own I have been pointed out as something extraordinary – a calf with five legs, a monster. I have never fought to attain that position, and I shall not fight to keep it.
Meglomania? Yes. I’ve felt a waft about my brow at times, but I think I’m immune. I have only to think of the utter unimportance of art in the world we live in to bring it down to earth. And yet the compulsion is there all the same.”
- Johan Borg

Pandorum
A disease founded by emotional triggers, a feeling of fear. Thinking you can’t be saved, you may find yourself in a state of Pandorum, or extreme fear of being alone. Thinking there is nothing left, usually causes craziness.

Carl Jung
“A gentle and reasonable being can be transformed into a maniac or a savage beast. One is always inclined to lay the blame on external circumstances, but nothing could explode in us if it had not been there.”
