Perspectives. Everything has a point of view. I know, personifications, objects becoming subjects are a stretch, but searching for a crossover, do we ever get the perspective of the almighty eye in the sky? The eye of god appearing in archetypal imagery of early printed books is open (no pun intended) to interpretation, as what may be a sense of the early understanding of the workings of the anatomical eye in correlation to the reflection of soul. Alchemists-- searching, working for the philosophers stone (see: Anatomy of the Psyche by Edward F. Edinger) as symbolism and art of literature and dreams in the middle ages and renaissance give uncanny glimpses of this threshold.
