Is there any knowledge in the world which is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it?
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
Awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause everything is never as it seems
We’d better think about
the games we play
The world went round,
around and round
And as I roll along, I begin to find,
Things aren’t always just what they seem
Symbolism was largely a reaction against naturalism and realism, anti-idealistic styles which were attempts to represent reality in its gritty particularity, and to elevate the humble and the ordinary over the ideal. Symbolism was a reaction in favour of spirituality, imagination, and dreams.
And oh my dreams,
It’s never quite as it seems
