Sorry att det gick lite segt, men här kommer citatet.

Detta tänker jag ofta på när jag försöker förstå exempelvis rollspelandets magi, även fast citatet är skrivet långt innan de moderna rollspelen var en grej.
There are not many persons who know what wonders are opened to them in the stories and visions of their youth; for when as children we learn and dream, we think but half-formed thoughts, and when as men we try to remember, we are dulled and prosaic with the poison of life. But some of us awake in the night with strange phantasms of enchanted hills and gardens, of fountains that sing in the sun, of golden cliffs overhanging murmuring seas, of plains that stretch down to sleeping cities of bronze and stone, and of shadowy companies of heroes that ride caparisoned white horses along the edges of thick forests; and then we know that we have looked back through the ivory gates into that world of wonder which was ours before we were wise and unhappy.
 
Nu tror jag att det är enkelt?

"The candle flame gutters. Its little pool of light trembles. Darkness gathers. The demons begin to stir."
