I'm not sure that the "obvious" is ever really obvious. What we
actually see or discern or acknowledge the importance of seems all too
often to be colored or shaded or distorted by our perspectives, which
are perhaps always somehow skewed: βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι
δι᾿ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι ... [BLEPOMEN GAR
ARTI DI' ESOPTROU EN AINIGMATI ... ]. When I fumble around looking for
something in a cupboard that's right before my eyes, I can hear my
wife telling me what Oedipus told Teiresias,. TUFLOS TA T' WTA TON TE
NOUN TA T' OMMAT' EI, or at least her own equivalent of that, "You're
blind in the eyes, ears, nose and throat."
