we neither allow our eye simply to rest on the pure thing in front of us, a canvas measuring such and such, with so and so patches of blue, green and brown on it, nor do we see straight through it, as though ignorant that we are looking at a painting, and imagining we look through a window.
A interesting metaphor in itself for preception of the aparent duality of reality / Reality (the socalled objective subjective split that are fundmetally intertwind)
