What is this statement, straightened out?
“The word falls”, one is tempted to explain,
“into a mould of my mind long prepared for
it.”
But as I don't perceive both the word and a mould, the
metaphor of the word's fitting a mould can't allude to
an experience of comparing the hollow and the solid shape before they are
fitted together, but rather to an experience of seeing the solid shape
accentuated by a particular background.

There is only one circle, and what we call the mould only accentuates,
or as we sometimes said, emphasizes it. |
