Metaphor in Context
The skull proper has become the map, on which, just as an atlas, the regions and localities are circumscribed in which man as in a tiny world, is decribed. Nowadays one travels around man's skull as if on a globe, to seek and discover places where our perceptions, desires, inclinations, and mental abilities are housed.
