Nun haben wir Augen - Augen - ein schön Paar Kinderaugen! -E.T.A. Hoffman, from Nachtstuecke (While reviewing class notes on Freud's "uncanny," I got sucked into one of his main examples - Hoffman's "Der Sandmann." I always thought the Sand-Man threw sand in your eyes, i.e. not fun but not deadly either. In Hoffman's version, the Sand-Man tries to pluck out the eyes of children and feed them to his own children.) |

Oh, I should be more careful with these blog posts, i.e. no more wildly flinging around references to castration anxiety.
