I think poetry, mysticism, philosophy and beauty are radically embedded in each other. At the very least, they all sleep in the same room! I agree with Andrew O'Hagan's thought at last year's Sydney Writers' Festival:
Our power truly to imagine the world and the worlds inside us is what constitutes our moral sense. It is not the unexamined life that is not worth living, but the unimagined one.
