[I]f we look at an isolated printed word and repeat it long enough, it ends by assuming an entirely unnatural suspect. Let the reader try this with any word on this page. He will soon begin to wonder if it can possibly be the word he has been using all his life with that meaning. It stares at him from the paper like a glass eye, with no speculation in it. Its body is indeed there, but its soul is fled.
