She intended to swallow the world and he lived crushed by reality.
Too much reality can be a dazzle, a surfeit;Too close immediacy an exhaustion
You can have too much reality.
Reality is crushing. The world is a wrong-sized shoe. How can anyone stand it?
I think life is staggering and we're just too used to it.
Reality in strong doses frightens.
I realized it for the first time in my life: there is nothing but mystery in the world, how it hides behind the fabric of our poor, browbeat days, shining brightly, and we don't even know it.
