Allow the wonderfully intriguing Martian Chronicles to illustrate the point...

The Golden Apples of the Sun is an anthology of 22 short stories by science fiction author Ray Bradbury, first published in 1953. The title was drawn from the last line of the final stanza of W.B. Yeates poem, "The Song of Wandering Aengus" (1899):
| “ | Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone And kiss her lips and take her hands; And walk among long dappled grass, And pluck till time and times are done The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun. | ” |
— W.B. Yeates, The Wind Among the Reeds

Very nice tribute, Marie.
And that's a great scene from The Martian Chronicles - it really shows how our perceptions of what we believe is reality can be very different from one another - and probably even different from what is actually "reality", itself. :)
HI LVB
Bradbury is a real favorite of mine! This is one of those pivotal scenes in The Martian Chronicles that I remember from years ago, but at the time it's real significance was unknown to me. Old and wiser now, I see it clearer. Although the question remains, what is the true nature of reality?
