“The Story of particular facts is as a mirror, which obscures and distorts that which should be beautiful: Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.”1 (Shelley, A Defence of Poetry)
‘The craftsman could make all these things... even you could make it quickly and in lots of places, especially if you were willing to carry a mirror with you, for that’s the quickest way of all. With it you can quickly make the sun, the things in the heavens, the earth, yourself, the other animals, manufactured items, plants, and everything else mentioned just now.’ (Plato, Book X of The Republic)
