Enchantment is a spell that comes over us, an aura of fantasy that can settle on the heart... An enchanted life has many moments when the heart is overwhelmed by beauty and the imagination is electrified by some haunting quality in the world or by a spirit or voice speaking from deep within a thing, a place, or a person. The soul has an absolute, unforgiving need for these regular exursions into enchantment.
It requires them like the body needs food and the mind needs thought.
Thomas Moore
