One Quote From: Ariadne's Clue

"Again and again it is reported that members of human cultures communicate with one another, with the spirits of their ancestors, and with their gods through the process of symbolization- that is to say, through the innovative association of an image or an object with a complex of emotions and ideas" (Stevens, p. 36).

Two Quotes from: Ariadne's Clue

Interesting Quote: "Eliade maintained that a symbol does not depend for its existence of being understood, known, or even recognized, since it preserves it inherent structure long after it had been forgotten" (Stevens, p. 20).

Confusing Quote: "Parallel to all such distinctions is that made by linguistics between metonymic and metaphoric modes of speech" (Stevens, p.29).

Object In My Room

There's an object in my room. When you look at the object it grabs you and drags you inside. Since the scenery is calm and beautiful, it feels like you're in paradise. Because there are blue waves, an orange sunset, and green palm trees, the sound of the salty waves crashing into each other play soothing music, and the soft palm trees dance back and forth to the rhythm of the salty waves. The sun mirrors in the crystal water for the object in my room is a painting.
