Reality.

Gauguin, La Sente du Père Jean, 1885


Meru 
Civilization is hooped together, brought
Under a rue, under the semblance of peace
By manifold illusion; but man's life is thought,
And he, despite his terror, cannot cease
Ravening through century after century,
Ravening, raging, and uprooting that he may come
Into the desolation of reality ...
- W.B. Yeats
