Reflection Sequence: Apple:
"I see an apple.
"The light of the Sun is reflected from the surface of an apple, after the occurrence of the spectroscopic action of light segregation through the medium of crystals on the surface of the apple.
"Not all of the energy ray tones are reflected, however. Those that are useful to the apple are absorbed by it, while the remainder, i.e., the non-useful, or nondigestible, or, more specifically, non-chemically combinable ray tones are reflected from the surface of the apple through the air to and through the lens of the human eye, where they are analyzed by the retina and telephotographed to the brain of the beholder.
“Incidentally the light that the apple gives off is a negative, that is, the opposite of the light complementary to the growth phenomenon ‘apple.’ It is not one of the chemical apple’s actual constituents. This is something like the phenomenon of the camera film negative except that the latter is more honest than the eye’s for the eye reverses light and shadow instead of properly appraising them as does the camera. In printing,”
