I see (expression) of dead people ...

Mary Favret, a literature scholar at Indiana, gave a brilliant paper at Emory last year on soldiers and suicide. She explored the topic through close analysis of 18th and 19th C paintings, and suggested that "if something cannot be articulated in language, it might nonetheless be made visible." -- Mary L. Dudziak

The question then becomes "will those who see, perceive?" [that's me, no extra charge]
