Ligne accounts for a close observation of a body. But here, only the water is used as an exploration tool. The water reacts to the blood's beats. Due to its magnifying, shining and vibratory properties, it acts as a medium sensitive to the lesser intensities running through the body. It stays on the surface but probes - by capillarity - a buried inwardness.
