“Image is psyche.”
“The poetic image is a sudden salience on the surface of the psyche”
“If I know this, I ought to be able to escape the stupider kinds of illusion. The absolute nature of things is independent of my senses (which are all I have to perceive with), and what I perceive is an image of my own psyche.”
“I can no longer be sure whether the psyche is in me or whether I'm in the psyche...”
“A drunk man, staggering and mindless, must be led home by his son, so wet is his psyche... Water brings death to the psyche, as earth brings death to water... The psyche lusts to be wet.”
“Isolation is devastating to the human psyche.”
