 Tims the dualism between subject and object 

 is no longer merely implicit as in the lower 

 animals, but has become explicit, realized

 The eye makes the separation between the 

 seen and the seeing, though it reaches not to

 a kind of outer Ego, self-beholding indeed, 

 but altogether on the outside a forecasting

 it to another organism which thrills in re-
