Natasha Synesiou
conjure up the sense of all that as I write these words. Who am I, where am I? Where am I to be found?
There was a child went forth every day,
And the first object he look'd upon, that object he became,
And that object became part of him for the day, or a certain
part of the day,
Or for many years or stretching cycles of years(Walt Whitman, 1986: p386)
