drawers, chest, and wardrobes

drawers-"ready-made garments"

our mind has drawers, these drawers contain knowledge, they are pre-catergorized and ready to be used at any second. Memories are not contained in these drawers. They can not be placed into something so objective, because they float in the subjective world. The organized chaotic world in which we open often but never in the same form as these ready-made garments.

"Wardrobes with their shelves, desks with their drawers, and chests with their false bottoms are veritable organs of the secret psychological life."

"Does there exist a single dreamer of words who does not respond to the word wardrobe?..."

wardrobe-"intimate space"

Each of us has this. We have things in our lives that we don't open up with just anyone. Whether it is feelings or experiences, we lock these spaces up inside of wardrobes.
Whereas the drawers may contain our knowledge, the wardrobe contains our memories.

chests-"may be opened"

These are the objects we contain that we have complete mastery, and have the ability to be opened.

"We shall never reach the bottom of the casket."
-Jean-Pierre Richard

"....the initmacy of man and the intimacy of matter....."
"there is only one place for the superlative element of what is hidden.""To enter into the domain of the superlative, we must leave the positive for imaginary. We must listen to poets'
