Dreams Grounded In Reality


"The true ideal is not opposed to the real but lies within it; and blessed are the eyes that find it."


James Russell Lowell
19th century American poet

Mr. Lowell tells us that there must be a link between our ideas and reality; that one without the other is the same as if neither existed.

Dream, but at some point live in reality as well.
