We are haunted, not by reality, but by those images we have put in

You are exquisite evidence of this truth.
When the room closes up and the light bulb starts growing, drops down
while it is growing and the gently swings from side to side, slowly
turning into a huge dble edged blade and it seems you are about to die,

from by the axe blades.
