“The imagination of man is made in the image of the imagination of God. Everything of man must have been of God first; and it will help much towards our understanding of the imagination and its functions in man if we first succeed in regarding aright the imagination of God, in which the imagination of man lives and moves and has its being.” — from “THE IMAGINATION: ITS FUNCTIONS AND ITS CULTURE” by Macdonald.
Pictured is the old bohemian club of San Francisco, 1913, founded 1872, of which Mark Twain was an honorary member along with Bret Harte, Jack London being of the second generation members.
I've read Greville Macdonald's bio of his father and mother, George and Lousia, and think they lived a sort of bohemian life. They were friends of Mark Twain among others. Lousia wrote plays and the children performed them for the locals (who could be entertainment poor), and guests were frequently people like Ruskin, Lewis Carroll and the like. A visitor remarked that meals were not regular. Also there was a complete trust that the children would receive an education, however: that also seems to have been catch- as catch-can. Greville himself trained in medicine but was virtually illiterate at age eleven. His oldest sister, by contrast, could quote whole plays from the Shakespeare oeuvre at that age.
