"To inhabit oneirically the house we were born in means more than to inhabit it in memory; it means living in this house that is gone, the way we used to dream in it. ... What special depth there is in a child's daydream! And how happy the child who really possesses his moments of solitude! ... Centers of boredom, centers of solitude, centers of daydream group together to constitute the oneiric house which is more lasting than the scattered memories of our birthplace. ... And we should not forget that these dream values communicate poetically from soul to soul. To read poetry is essentially to daydream." (38)
