Imagination is that ratio among the perceptions and faculties which exists when they are not embedded or outered in material technologies. When so outered, each sense and faculty becomes a closed system. Prior to outering there is entire interplay among experiences. This interplay or synaesthesia is a kind of tactility such as Blake sought in the bounding line of sculptural form and in engraving.
