Please curb your frogs and imaginations

[William Zantzinger]

The Imagination then I consider either as primary, or
secondary. The primary Imagination I hold to be the
living Power and prime Agent of all human Perception,
and as a repetition in the finite mind of the eternal
act of creation in the infinite I Am. The secondary I
consider as an echo of the former, co-existing with
the conscious will, yet still as identical with the
primary in the kind of its agency, and differing only
in degree, and in the mode of its operation. It
dissolves, diffuses, dissipates, in order to
re-create; or where this process is rendered
impossible, yet still at all events it struggles to
idealize and to unify. It is essentially vital, even
as all objects (as objects) are essentially fixed and
dead.
