"One thinks that one is tracing the outline of the thing's nature over and over again, and one is merely tracing round the frame through which we look at it." (Wittgenstein, PI§114)
The material fact
of social acts,
the structure under
the texture.
A concept,
an emotion.
A thought
a feeling.
The calm mind,
and a heartbeat:
skull and bones,
flesh and blood.
