b) Sensuous Objects

Not only what and how something marvelous here occurs, however, but also the diversity of the contents which enter the memoria, and how they do so, generates astonishment.29 What enters is ordered according to its respective way of access, genuinely and in kinds: colors, sounds, smells, tastes, hardness and softness, warmth and cold; what comes from material bodies outside, what comes from one’s own bodily interior. (If it is only there—having freed itself, as it were, from its manner of access—it does not matter. I represent [vergegenwärtige] only its meaning anyway.)

Even in darkness I can distinguish between black and white, can determine something about colors, and no sounds force themselves in the way. And I “sing” when tongue and larynx are at rest. Without presently smelling, I distinguish between the fragrance of lilies and that of violets. Not the objects themselves are present, but “images,” as it were. (Within representation I am able to distinguish.)
