Heaven or Hell?

"Dante's is a visual imagination...in the sense that he lived in an age in which [people] still saw visions...We have noting but dreams, and we have forgotten that seeing visions– a practice now relegated to the aberrant and uneducated– was once a more signficant, interesting and disciplined kind of dreaming. We take for granted that our dreams spring from below: possibly the quality of our dreams suffers in consequence.

"...Hell is not a place but a state; that a [person] is damned or blessed in the creatures of his imagination..."

-T.S. Eliot
