Background Image
Homesickness is not always a vague, nostalgic, almost beautiful emotion, although that is somehow the way we always seem to picture it in our mind. it can be a terribly keen blade, not just a sickness in metaphor but in fact as well. it can change the way one looks at the world; the faces one sees in the street look not just indifferent but ugly... perhaps even malignant. homesickness is a real sickness--the ache of the uprooted plant.

Homesickness Is Not Always A Vague, Nostalgic,

Stephen King

Beautiful Real Mind

More From Stephen King

The great crime which the moneyed classes and promoters of industry committed in the palmy victorian days was the condemning of the workers to ugliness, ugliness, ugliness: meanness and formless and ugly surroundings, ugly ideals, ugly religion, ugly hope, ugly love, ugly clothes, ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly relationship between workers and employers. the human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.

The facts of nature are what they are, but we can only view them through the spectacles of our mind. our mind works largely by metaphor and comparison, not always (or often) by relentless logic. when we are caught in conceptual traps, the best exit is often a change in metaphor not because the new guideline will be truer to nature (for neither the old nor the new metaphor lies "out there" in the woods), but because we need a shift to more fruitful perspectives, and metaphor is often the best agent of conceptual transition.

As this world becomes increasingly ugly, callous and materialistic it needs to be reminded that the old fairy stories are rooted in truth, that imagination is of value, that happy endings do, in fact, occur, and that the blue spring mist that make an ugly street look beautiful is just as real a thing as the street itself.
Beautiful Spring Real
Your street, rich street or poor used to always be sure, on your street there's a place in your heart you know from the start can't be complete outside of the street keep moving on through the joy and the pain sometimes you got to look back to the street again would you prefer all those castles in spain? or the view of your street from your window pane?
Pain Moving Heart
A really good picture looks as if it's happened at once. it's an immediate image. for my own work, when a picture looks labored and overworked, and you can read in it as well - she did this and then she did that; there is something in it that has not got to do with beautiful art to me. and i usually throw these out, though i think very often it takes ten of those over-labored efforts to produce one really beautiful wrist motion that is synchronized with your head and heart, and you have it, and therefore it looks as if it were born in a minute.
Beautiful Art Thinking
One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. your voice can change the world.

[cities] are not like suburbs, only denser. they differ from towns and suburbs in basic ways, and one of these is that cities are, by definition, full of strangers.

One always, sooner or later, comes upon a city which is an image of one's inner cities. fez is an image of my inner self. ... the layers of the city of fez are like the layers and secrecies of the inner life. one needs a guide. ... there were in fez, as in my life, streets which led nowhere, impasses which remained a mystery.
