<p>"The interior life is often stupid. Its egoism blinds it and deafens it; its imagination spins out ignorant tales, fascinated. It fancies that the western wind blows on the Self, and leaves fall at the feet of the Self for a reason, and people are watching. A mind risks real ignorance for the sometimes paltry prize of an imagination enriched. The trick of reason is to get the imagination to seize the actual world -- if only from time to time."</p>

<p>Which of the following statements best paraphrases the last two lines?
-Reason can enhance imagination but at the expense of experience in the actual world.
