[Markekohut]

Yeah to all this. Make it new and it won 't be if it isn't 't originally disruptive, I repeat un originally.

I did a fair amount of reading on the meaning of imagination a ways back and it isn't fantasy ( although some can be) and it isn't " wild" ideas (although some might be) and it is, somehow, with 
Literature a full, real--believable, coherent recreation--- of human beings in the world. somehow.
( in my tendentious humble reading)
