“The box represents the mysterious threshold between reality and make-believe. Is it Reinhart’s? Is it Thistleton’s? Or is it yours? Because every one of us has our box, a dark chamber stowing the thing that lanced our heart. It contains what you do everything for, strive for, wound everything around you.

“Fantasmagoria by Stewart Stafford
Dreams are the exploration,
Of unlimited imagination,
In minds so freely open,
The chooser becomes chosen,
To dream labour's leisure,
Overflowing with hidden treasure,
And seeing what we feel,
The imagined becomes real.
