Background
A description of the experience
Louis Claude de St Martin – L'Homme du Desir
Things were not as they are in our gloomy dwelling, where sounds can be likened only to other sounds, colours to other colours, one substance to another. There everything was of a kind. Light gave out sounds, melody brought forth light, colours had movement because they were alive, objects were at once sonorous, diaphonous and mobile enough to intermix and flow in a line through all space
