In the Moon Beamy Air

"The right way to wholeness is made up, unfortunately, of fateful detours and wrong turnings. It is a via longissima, not straight but snakelike, a path that unites the opposites in the manner of the guiding caduceus, a path whose labyrinthine twists and turns are not lacking in terror.”
Psychology and Alchemy - Carl Jung


Sailing through the Labyrinth

"Why linger you so, the wild labyrinth strolling?
Why breathless, unable your bliss to declare?
Ah! you list to the nightingale’s tender condoling,
Responsive to sylphs, in the moon beamy air."

To Some Ladies - John Keats

Dennis had no trouble ignoring the sylphs.

"Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces."
Sigmund Freud

"Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you."
