#589 La Double Réalité

This was the first double of the body. 
From having been an assurance of immortality, 
it becomes the uncanny harbinger of death.
Sigmund Freud: The Uncanny







The horse's bell rings silently. Death
is approaching. The two women who
are the same woman meet it head-on, 
open-eyed, though both have diffe-
ring views of how it looks. Depending
on one's point of view, perspective is
disconcerting. So, too, is being pinned 
to the wall, incomplete, what's left dis-
played in complementary directions. 
Beauty, we are reminded, is not the only
thing found in the eye of the beholder.
