The quote: "Ghosts might enter here, without affrighting us." This quote struck me. It struck me because usually ghosts frighten people. They don't frighten the home, because the floor of their familiar room has become a neutral territory, somewhere between the real world and fairy-land, where the Actual and the Imaginary may meet, and each imbue itself with the nature of the other. It's striking because it seems as though the floor of the familiar room is a peace room. The collisions of Actual and Imaginary may meet without causing turmoil. (Pg. 38)
The quote: "At the instant, I was only conscious that what would have been a pleasure once was now a hopeless toil." This quote struck me, because it appears as the past and present state of mind. Realization of what something once was, and now of what it is. Some people go after dreams, which may be a pleasure. Some don't know it, but it may turn into a hopeless toil. (Pg. 40)
