![]() ![]() Houses and rooms cellars and attics drawers, chests, and wardrobes nests and shells nooks and corner- no space is too cast or too small to be filled by our thoughts and our reveries. Guiding us through a stream of mediations on poetry, art, and the blooming of consciousness itself, Bachelard examines the domestic places that shape and hold our dreams and memories. This lyrical journey takes as its premise the emergence of the poetic image and finds an ideal metaphor in the intimate spaces of our homes. 'The house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.' Since its initial publication in 1958, The Poetics of Space has been a muse to philosophers, architects, writers, psychologists, critics, and readers alike. ![]()
