"I too have this archaic nature, and in me it is linked with the gift not always pleasant of seeing people and things as they are, I can let myself be deceived from here to Tipperary when 1 don't want to recognize something, and yet at bottom I know quite well how matters really stand. In this I am like a dog he can be tricked, but he always smells it out in the end. This "insight" is based on instinct, or on a "participation mystique" with others. It is as if the "eyes of the background" do the seeing in an impersonal act of perception."
