perhaps a relevant quote from "The Gift" by Lewis Hyde (p63) "... To put clothes on a thing is a kind of acknowledgement, like giving it a name. By this act, we begin to differentiate what was undifferentiated. Sometimes we are unable to escape a bad mood, for example, until we have correctly articulated the feeling. Articulation allows a slight gap to open between the feeling and the self, and that gap permits the freedom of both."
