and noticed that she resembled him--
One sees it as if it were disappearing, coming into view again, disappearing, coming into view again-- that's to say, it really always is between being and not being. Not the imitation of eyes, but really and truly a gaze. In fact, one never copies anything but the vision that remains of it at each moment, the image that becomes conscious.
