"Show me the heart unfettered by foolish dreams And I'll show you a happy man."
- Tennyson
I believe that this means that Tennyson would rather be a someone who has realistic goals and dreams that he can and will reach over a dreamer. He thinks that a happy man is a realist who accomplishes his goals, and to be honest, I don't disagree. However, I think some of the fun in life would be taken away if we weren't to fantasize and dream. As long as we keep sight of the truth and reality, I think that dreaming good dreams isn't a bad thing at all. The way I see it though, is that a person who is truly happy would have achieved honest and true goals of theirs, but also dreams of pure dreams.
