I prefer, however, to speak of it as the space of perspectives, in order to obviate the suggestion that a private world is only real when someone views it. And for the same reason, when I wish to speak of a private world without assuming a percipient, I shall call it a "perspective." We have now to explain how the different perspectives are ordered in one space.
"Loneliness," she insisted. Her little chin was now in her little hand, and her dim face upturned. And suddenly a sensation of absolute and marvellous terror seized Edward Henry. He was more afraid than he had ever been and yet once or twice in his life he had felt fear. His sense of true perspective one of his most precious qualities returned. He thought: "I've got to get out of this."
These were not like pictures or views; but the structures themselves, in full perspective and in all the richness of their coloring, seemed to stand before us.
The background of mountains piercing the clouds; the foreground being formed by the town itself with its houses of various hues, and picturesque styles of architecture, ascending the mountain's side, and villas, and country seats aiding the perspective, whilst the island of Cobras served as a side scene.
Shortly after this joyous rencontre we topped the rise, and, looking back, could realize the grade we had been ascending. The road led white and straight as an arrow to dwindle in perspective to a mere thread. The little car leaped forward on the invisible down grade. Again I anchored myself to one of the top supports.

In the solitudes and in danger things that are little in reality will find their true perspective; and things that are worthy will appear in their constant majesty.
After traversing its whole length, just before plunging into the mountain-depths the traveler rarely meets with a finer picture than that which, on looking back, he seems framed between the hills at the other end. Freiburg looks around the foot of one of the heights, with the spire of her cathedral peeping above the top, while the French Vosges grow dim in the far perspective.
So that the time-vista of the past is seen to answer pretty closely to a visible perspective in which the amount of apparent error due to foreshortening increases with the distance. In practice, however, this defect in the imagination of duration leads to no error.
He undertook to celebrate the consecration Of the Church of the Carmine, and for this he made many frescoes, among which was a correct painting of the procession as it entered from the cloisters of the church. This work was thought to be very wonderful because the figures grew smaller in the distance, thereby giving "perspective" for the first time.
