The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it be… - J. R. R. Tolkien

" "
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say

J. R. R. Tolkien

Fantasy is a higher form of Art, indeed the most nearly pure form, and so (when achieved) the most potent.
