" 'The eye is the mirror of the soul within' according to one version of the proverb. Magritte is playing his game of reversal again here, one of questioning what is outside, what inside. THe overdimensional human eye, instead of providing a view into what lies within, into man's soul, reflects what lies without, namely a sky with clouds in it."
Paquet, Marcel. (2006) Magritte. Germany: Taschen GmbH. p.10.
