"... resemblance is a beginning, masking the advent of whole new vital dimension. This even applies to mimicry in nature. An insect that mimics a leaf does so not to meld with the vegetable state of its surrounding milieu, but to re-enter the higher realm of predatory animal warfare on a new footing. Mimicry according to Lacan, is camouflage. It advantages by masking one’s life force."
