EPIGRAPH: I sang to my dear dead mother
and she instantly understood me,
and pressing a kiss to my forehead said
as into her arms she pulled me:
"Believe then in truth, or in fantasy --
if you'll only believe in it utterly!
For truth is what you believe it to be.
My son, believe in your dreams!'
FROM: Smiling Apollo, (1898), Poem, Finland
