“The image has a central role in diverse models of learning, for it springs from the deepest roots of meaning.

The development of a rich allusionary base of learning - a conglomerate of concepts, images and memories, available to us to provide meaning, and relating to connotative rather than denotative - can be developed through poetry, literature, mythology and the arts, providing the stock of meaning with which we think and feel.”
