There’s a secret world where you try and hide,
You want to live but you’re dead inside,
Now you’re trying to make your paracosms true.
- Puressence, She's Gotten Over You
"A paracosm is a society thought up by a child--an invented universe with a distinctive language, geography, and history. (The Brontës invented a couple of paracosms when they were children.)"
"Bumping into Mr. Ravioli", from Through the Children's Gate by Adam Gopnik, page 158.
