The picture to hold is something that keeps coming back to the same spot and will not leave. Not a single visit — a return, and another return, always uninvited and never at a time you choose. In the oldest and clearest use the spot is a building and the visitor is a dead person's spirit. Move the same picture inside a person, and the thing that keeps returning is a memory or a fear; move it onto the face, and you can see on someone that this is happening to them.

可以想成:有個東西一直回到同一個地方,趕也趕不走。不是來一次,而是一次又一次,從來不請自來,也不挑你方便的時候。最原始、最清楚的畫面裡,那個地方是一棟房子,回來的是死去的人的靈魂。把同一張圖搬進人的腦袋裡,一直回來的就變成一段回憶或一個恐懼;再搬到臉上,就成了旁人看得出來的那種神情。
