Some of us put our depth in allegory. :)<br /><br />To quote C.S. Lewis “At all ages, if [fantasy and myth] is used well by the author and meets the right reader, it has the same power: to generalize while remaining concrete, to present in palpable form not concepts or even experiences but whole classes of experience, and to throw off irrelevancies. But at its best it can do more; it can give us experiences we have never had and thus, instead of 'commenting on life,' can add to it.” <br /><br />Fantastic post, though, and I agree wholeheartedly.
