"La fantaisie est une échappatoire et c'est sa gloire. Si un soldat est emprisonné par l'ennemi, ne considérons-nous pas qu'il est de son devoir de s'échapper."
Simplified meaning
Fantasy allows people to take a break from the hard parts of real life by imagining different worlds or adventures. Just like a soldier tries to escape from being a prisoner during a war, people use fantasy to get away from stress or sadness in their lives. For example, reading about magical lands with heroes and dragons can help someone forget their problems for a while and feel happier or more relaxed. This isn't running away from reality; it's giving yourself a moment to recharge. It can help you feel stronger and ready to face challenges when you come back to the real world. So, enjoying a good fantasy book or movie can be good for your mind, just like taking a break from hard work.
