WRITINGS
"I had a dream. I found myself in a dirty, sooty city. It was night and winter; and dark and raining. I was in Liverpool. In the centre was a round pool; in the middle of it a small island. On it stood a single tree; a magnolia in a shower of reddish blossoms. It was as though the tree stood in the sunlight, and were, at the same time, the source of light. Everything was extremely unpleasant; black and opaque - just as I felt then. But I had a vision of unearthly beauty . . . and that’s why I was able to live at all.
Liverpool is the pool of life."
Carl Jung, Philosopher, 1961
