We are the Dreamers of Dreams
George Plimpton once wrote an article called "The Man in the Flying Lawn Chair" (found in the book of the same name) about a Californian man named Larry who's lifelong dream had been to soar through the air. After having the idea to use balloons for twenty years, he finally bought a lot of weather balloons, filled them with helium and tied them to a lawn chair and set off on his flight. He had no explanation as to why he wanted to fly like this, it was just his dream and something that he had to do.
I have embroidered some multicoloured balloons, filled them in with pencil crayons and added a small chair. When I was reading the article, I kept thinking of the line that Gene Wilder says in the lickable wallpaper scene "We are the dreamers of dreams" and I thought that it was the perfect sentiment. The quote is actually from a beautiful poem called "Ode" by Arthur O'Shaughnessy.
