Under the force of the imagination, nature itself is changed.
London has always provided the landscape for my imagination. It becomes a character - a living being - within each of my books.
I have always believed that the material world is governed by nonmaterial sources, so that in that sense 'English Music' is an exercise in the spiritual as well as the material. I have always been attracted to the Gothic and spiritual imagination, and I've always been interested in visionaries.
