“I admit that I’m greatly prejudiced against all the blind, squint-eyed, deaf, mute, legless, armless, hunch-backed and so on. I’ve observed that there’s always some strange relationship between the external appearance of a man and his soul, as if with the loss of a limb the soul too has lost some faculty of sensation.”
A Hero of Our Time, Mikhail Lermontov
Supposing there is such parallelism between body and soul –I have my doubts- and that the ‘loss of a limb’ is caused by an accident. When does the soul break then? Before the accident takes place? After? Or at the very instant the body is being injured?
