21 December 2000 - ambiguous ambiguity

this eye looks with love
this eye looks with judgment
free me take the sight out of this eye
— Edie Brickell

The song may mean that one eye, loving and judging, is to be put out by the unspecified liberator. It may mean there’s one loving and one judging eye, with the identity of the oppressor to be decided by lot. Whether the ambiguity is intended remains ambiguous. It’s a masterful use of double ambiguity, unless it’s a careless blunder.

There’s something about ambiguity.
