And we + 'htiIl have in us that memory of the |primitive man and we still unconscious lly, when we sit down to our repasts, choose places that give us a wall for our protection. That, and not desire to see things, is what causes us to pick out walls and corners. You can see as well from the middle of room or from any other place, you know.
