We have entered an age of unreason; an age when the evidence of our senses and the sentences and words we use to convey their meaning, what we used to call common sense, has been replaced by a new sort of meaning, one entirely shaped by imagination.

In a real sense, it is the triumph of the arts, the triumph of imagination over sense, where knowledge based on our senses is replaced by feelings that are to be vented with a hyperbolic emotional language.
