The light field, the dark field
|
 |
|
Images that are appearances
|
|
- as in Antiquity and in the Renaissance
|
|
embody emotions and thoughts
|
|
that do not coincide with what the unaided eye sees.
|
|
They make the abstract concrete
|
|
theirs is a perception of reality.
|
|
|
Mythical creatures
|
|
gods, demons, centaurs
|
|
im perpetuous metamorphosis
|
|
have not disappeared.
|
|
They surround us everywhere but have not yet
|
|
been cast into proper shape.
|
|
|
The circuits in our brain and our heart beat
|
|
are since then unchanged.
|
|
Our reflexes when confronted
|
|
by sights unheard of or indescribable
|
|
have remained the same.
|
|
|
But before I continue, I must juxtapose
|
|
perception and sensation:
|
|
a light field -heart and mind that wish to understand-
|
|
and a dark field - the body, eyes that wish to see -.
|
|
Without their contrast (complementary)
|
|
I cannot make sense.
