OK, I'll admit that you might have to think a little! : -) How is that picture different from 'a tea monger's cart? ' Is it even possible for one image to be more real than another? Isn't everything (you think you see) just a 'model of reality' constructed by your brain from sensory input? Let's raise our glass to 'models! ' Some of them are so sexy and cute even! Ha! ? Concrete images (that are never concrete) can be so boring and are rarely more than a spark, mostly monkeys with typewriters or emperor's "new clothes!" Words may seem beautiful to you, but if they do not come from the author's original intention to communicate a specific idea or feeling, they are garbage I think, just monkeys typing and "Fake News!"
