Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Confessions of Two Brothers It is the little thing, the unrehearsed gesture, the catch in the breath, the droop of the lip, the start of surprise, which really reveals. We may analyze ourselves in volumes and remain undiscovered; and then - by a yawn, a tilt of the head, a sob of exhaustion, a flash of hate - we are betrayed and unmasked forever. It came over me yesterday that the whole secret of my being, of my happiness and my misery, was to be discovered in my hands. I speak as a biologist, not as a palmist. Under ordinary conditions my consciousness does not penetrate to my hands. These curious human appendages remain inert, clumsy, helpless, heavy, dead. I have dead hands - the hands of a dead person! I cannot do the simplest thing with my hands without a definite and concentrated effort of will. It is like working with clumsy tools; tools that require elaborate direction every time.
