“What if the beholder glances, glances away, driven by aversion as much as desire? 

This is to ask not only, what if beholding were glancing;

it is also—or maybe even rather—to ask, what if glancing is the aversion of the gaze, a physical act of repression,

the active forgetting of an object whose resistance is now not the avoidance but the extortion of the gaze?”
