This is the kind of story that echoes Berdayaev's comment that "imagination calls up something better than the reality around us. Creativeness always rises above reality. Imagination plays this part not only in art and in myth but also in scientific discussions." I am reareading Joyce's Araby and, as already mentioned in another comment, there too (as well as in his Finnegan's Wake) one perceives what Carl Jung calls a “visionary mode of artistic creation” or a literary creation deriving its material from the hinterland of man’s mind, suggesting the abyss of time separating us from pre-human ages, and evoking a superhuman world of contrasting light and darkness. A primordial experience this surpassing man’s rational understanding that only the poetical and the mythological can conjure up while the cynical rationalist looks on in utter uncomprehension.
