BELIEVE IN THE FABULOUS
The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said “Talk, child.”
Alice could not help her lips curling up into a smile as she began: “Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulus monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!”
“Well, now that we have seen each other,” said the Unicorn, “if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?” -- Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

FABLE US
"For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulus dragon's teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men."
-John Milton, Speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing to the Parliament (1644). |
