"The world of forms"

Valentine Cameron Prinsep


I find myself constantly returning to Plato. He spoke of "the world
of forms" and deemed all things of the world to be lifeless copies of
some divine original.

Even man has fallen prey to this Platonic law--lifeless forms
of some divine original (God made us in his own image, right?).
So, the question is this: 
Am I this lifeless form, or the life force behind it?
