Myth of the cave

and imagine along this little wall vain images carrying objects along this road if there were an echo each time eyes blinded steep and abrupt rise kind of stuff between fire and the prisoners like partitions an elevated road runs by shadows of objects that reflect their apparition during the day the sun the puppet master tears him from his cave night of celestial bodies what he saw with his illusions and to contemplate the waters and then the objects this he will be able to reflect on the wall and the statuettes that a plough hand sets up in the cave when in the end it will be the sun itself in its proper place able to make out blind stone animals in wood
