does anyone else remember when they made a movie out of it? When things are at their darkest I dream of such escapism, like in that story where a man desires a better world so much he experiences a break with his bleak reality and lives his dream. He dreams that windmills are giants to fight. He dreams that a shaving bowl is a helmet, that a serving wench is a fair lady to save.
I think I’m not so different, the situation is beyond my capability to control or understand. My bright moments in the past were tilting at windmills. The reason we do that is that they might be giants. There is a modern movie about it as well, where an old judge is so overwhelmed with despair that he imagines himself to be Sherlock Holmes. It’s called They Might be Giants, and a band took it’s name from the movie.
