 The spreading wide my narrow Hands

What is a Body?

An Object.
"A machine containing our consciousness" 
Body Mind Dualism 

The Description of the Human Body 

1647  Rene Descartes

An Object receives meaning

A Subject produces meaning

     

I dwell in Possibility –

A fairer House than Prose –

More numerous of Windows –

Superior – for Doors –

Of Chambers as the Cedars –

Impregnable of eye –

And for an everlasting Roof

The Gambrels of the Sky –

Of Visitors – the fairest –

Bird nests that perhaps link Emily and Eva sensitivities

For Occupation – This –

The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise – " 


Emily Dickinson
















Is there no way out of the mind
Steps at my back spiral into the well
There are no trees or birds in this world
there is only sourness



Apprehensions
Sylvia Plath
