These visions are personal mysteries and as various in their manner of revelation as the modes of art or religion. We touch them here or there, according to our individual equipment. Anyone of the five senses may be the immediate means of communication, conveying the sudden stimulus by which the inner self finds its brief eternity of release. And there are some who cannot find their ecstasy in any book; there are others who find it in a few books, but will not find it here. To them I offer an apology, and ask in return that they shall not write and ask me what I mean. . . . -- J.D. Beresford
