The Transmission of Feeling

Passing It On

The first feeling was meant to be transmitted, not kept. A genuine feeling proves itself by its ability to move from one consciousness to another. Pope’s account was not written as documentation. It was written as transmission. The feeling jumps from the page into the reader because it was never meant to stay in one place. The test of a real feeling is not its intensity in the original moment. It is its ability to survive the journey into another soul.
