There are no such things as imaginary worlds.
Places spoke about in books,
lands of elves and lion gods,
patched together from our own
boring universe, a poor girl's dress
stitched into being with carpet samples.
We as humans cannot grasp
a plain beyond our own. We have no knowledge
of what we can't see. Thus fantasy
is truth we make mosaics of.

"We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges." - Gene Wolfe
