"Imagination is the Discovering Faculty, pre-eminently ... It is that which feels & discovers what is, the REAL which we see not, which exists not for our senses...

Hence she is or should be especially cultivated by the truly Scientific, those who wish to enter into the worlds around us!"

-- Ada Lovelace
