        Subject: "behind the eye"

For reasons too complicated to explain here, I'm attempting to track
down uses of the phrase "behind the eye" that are not medical,
physiological or neurological. Equivalents in languages other than 
English are also welcome.

The starting point was the title of Donald MacKay's last book, 
Behind the Eye (1991), which you may know. I was hoping the he'd 
explain his choice of that phrase, but he doesn't, though inferring 
its meaning for him is not difficult.

A worthy book, by the way.

Many thanks for any help.

Yours,
WM
