The Loss of the Creature

In the beginning Percy is talking about how people see beauty and how most people overlook what they're actually looking at. Percy is exclaiming that places, objects, and what have you lose their gusto but only becuase people don't take everything in.

Is he trying to say that you don't fully enjoy a place unless you're the first one to discover it or no one else can be there? And if the place has been found then you have to experience it in exclusion from everyone else. I understand his point, because it is true you don't get the same emotion or state of aw when someone else is there trying to experience the same thing you're trying to experience.

I don't understad why he uses so many parenthacies, doesn't seem like ther is really a use for them, it should just be a part of the paragraph.

This essay reminds me of the essay Ways of Seeing, they go hand and hand. It talks about how people see things, like experts and laymen or how people are at a certain place changes your view.
