Idolatry and Imagination
Consider:
1. "And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower [of Babel], which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do" (Genesis 11).
Note: The third time a form of the word "imagine" appears in the KJV's translation of Genesis.
2. Samuel Taylor Coleridge: "Primary imagination [is] the living power and prime agent of all human perception . . . a repetition in the finite mind of the eternal act of creation in the infinite I AM."
