"Yet [Simone] Weil uses eating as a metaphor for selfish fulfillment of desire. In eating we destroy the object of our hunger, she writes, and nourish only our self-perspective. We never gain the ultimate object of our desire. Weil contrasts "eating" with "looking," which signifies a renunciation of self and subjective perspective." Eating can be equated -in a metaphorical sense- with destruction, looking with attention."

"Identification is substituted for object-love, which is also an important mechanism in narcissistic love. Freud concludes that “the ego wants to incorporate this object into itself, and, in accordance with the oral or cannibalistic phase of libidinal development in which it is, it wants to do so by devouring it”. The ambivalence in identification, the longed for object assimilated by eating and thereby annihilated, appears again in Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego (1921). There, Freud also claims to suspect that “empathy [Einfühlung] [. . .] plays the largest part in our understanding of what is inherently foreign to our ego in other people”, and is part of the nature of identification, which might indicate an unexplored connection between empathy and cannibalism."

Pablo Neruda- Poema XV

Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente, y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca. Parece que los ojos se te hubieran volado y parece que un beso te cerrara la boca. Como todas las cosas están llenas de mi alma emerges de las cosas, llena del alma mía. Mariposa de sueño, te pareces a mi alma, y te pareces a la palabra melancolía. Me gustas cuando callas y estás como distante. Y estás como quejándote, mariposa en arrullo. Y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te alcanza: déjame que me calle con el silencio tuyo. Déjame que te hable también con tu silencio claro como una lámpara, simple como un anillo. Eres como la noche, callada y constelada. Tu silencio es de estrella, tan lejano y sencillo. Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente. Distante y dolorosa como si hubieras muerto. Una palabra entonces, una sonrisa bastan. Y estoy alegre, alegre de que no sea cierto.
