" "I stood before a mirror and said fearfully: “I want to see how I look in the mirror with my eyes closed.”
These wrods of Richter’s, when I first came upon them, made an indescribable commotion in me. As did the following, which seems almost like a corollary of the above — from Novalis:
The seat of the soul is where inner world and outer world touch each other. For nobody knows himself, if he is only himself and not also another one at the same time.
To take possession of one’s transcendental I, to be the I of one’s I, at the same time, as Novalis expressed it again.

I have been a little embarrassed always. But less so the last time. It will all disappear. You have such a delicious sense of humor — I adore that in you. I want always to see you laughing. It belongs to you. I have been thinking of places we ought to go together — little obscure places, here and there, in Paris. Just to say — here I went with Anais — here we ate or danced or got drunk together. Ah, to see you really drunk sometime, that would be a treat! I am almost afraid to suggest it — but Anais, when I think of how you press against me, how eagerly you open your legs and how wet you are, God, it drives me mad to think what you would be like when everything falls away.
