>Omnipotent fantasies are not so much the inner reality itself as a defence against the acceptance of
it. One finds in this defence a flight to omnipotent fantasy, and flight from some fantasies
to other fantasies, and in this sequence a flight to external reality. This is why I think one cannot
compare and contrast fantasy andreality. In the ordinary extrovert book of adventure we often see how the author made a flight to day-dreaming in childhood, and then later made use of externalreality in this same flight. He is not conscious of the inner depressive anxiety from which he has fled. He has led a
life full of incident and adventure, and this may be accurately told. But the impression left on the reader
is of a relatively shallow personality, for this very reason, that the author adventurer has had to base his
life on the denial of personal internal reality. One turns with relief from such writers to others who can
tolerate depressive anxiety and doubt.

Do you agree?

I would maybe remove the "OK". The more I read it the more I'm blown away. The leaf part is her dissociating from being neglected and unseen.
