The Eyes in Their Caves
Captions available
The idea
Dickens gives the forehead as a wall with the eyebrows for its base, and says the eyes found commodious cellarage in two dark caves overshadowed by it. Commodious cellarage is estate-agent language. The head has become a building, and the eyes are storage.
In practice
The head becomes a building.
Where people slip
The eyes are described as storage.
