The Language of the night ( Ursula K. Le guin )
Those who refuse to listen to dragons are probably doomed to spend their lives acting out the nightmares of politicians. We like to think we live in daylight,but half the world is always dark; and fantazy, like poetry, speaks the language of the night.
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Language of the Night, 1993, HerperPerennial, p.6
The above is from a well-known American science fiction and fantasy writer, but there is a quote from a Japanese poet that seems to me to point to the same thing.
