...spectacle as soon as It has a spectator. So one can think of that object in a number of ways. So a house wife might think of a table as something more or less utilitarian. A carpenter would notice how It is made and from what quality of wood. A poet-a bad one-will imagine everyone sitting round the hearth, and so forth.
