Photography shows this:

if we can attain to becoming an image, we can attain to becoming a self — that is, an object of perception knowably independent of its perceiver. What an idol communicates is only between itself and the god that speaks to itself through it. Before the idol, we perceivers are to learn to stop knowing and only see.

Qui fouettait mes vitres fermées,
Moi, j’ai fait Émaux et Camées.

You thought you could know. You thought that words wouldn’t be needed between you and the sight that had entered you. You thought you could tread the green plane.

But between you and the plane was you, reflected back.

he would have been a man of good flavor.
