new eyeball who dis 🤓 (on Easter, my contact lens somehow scratched my cornea really deeply, and I’ve been wearing an eyepatch up until a few days ago. The good news is I took the opportunity to get new, non-broken glasses and they’re v cool)
‘The eyes of an animal when they consider a man are attentive and wary. The same animal may well look at other species in the same way. He does not reserve a special look for man. But by no other species except man will the animal’s look be recognised as familiar. Other animals are held by the look. Man becomes aware of himself returning the look.’ —John Berger
