A more careful analysis about what is felt on the skin immediately reveals astonishing results. There are vague feelings of temperature. It is more or less a feeling of warmth. But the outline of the skin is not felt as a smooth and straight surface. This outline is blurred. There are no sharp borderlines between the outside world and the body … The skin that is felt is distinctly below the surface of the optic perception of the body … when we touch an object with our hands or with another surface of the body. At this very moment, the surface becomes smooth, clear, and distinct. The tactile and the optic outlines are now identical with each other … They are not fused together. There is a distinct space between.

(Schilder 1935: 85–86)
