The manner of mimesis in impressionist painting is at essential odds with that of the realists. I'm trying to devise a literary equivalent of impressionism in something approaching a communal subconsciousness.
Mimesis. Mimetic. Mimetic muscles expressing emotion. Smile, smile, smile. Not to be confused with memetics: memes, and memory transfer. Unit of culture. Shorthand sigla of belief infiltrating the universal unconscious proliferating like a viral outbreak. Epidemic proportions, a is to b as. Siglum. Sigla. To be distinguished from diegesis. Mimesis imitation imitator mimicry representation. A step removed or more. Tumbled down the rabbit hole from God. To reflect nature. Mirror mirror on the wall. The perilous seductions of poetry and wild art. Untamed. Spinning, hypnotizing mirrors, like some switched on Mondrian. To raise up an internally consistent reality so compelling that empathy and identification follow. Tragedy is falling. A diminution of status. One falls. Tumble down. Diegesis the narrative. Narrator. Commentary.
