"Now, if every action of my body is an appearance or phenomenon of an act of will in which my will itself in general and as a whole, and hence my character, again expresses itself under given motives, then phenomenon or appearance of the will must also be the indispensable condition and presupposition of every action" - This sounds similar to the idea that you cannot separate the doer and the deed, the object and the subject. They presuppose each other, and, if they must be understood in the form of cause and effect, must be understood in terms of Will. Love's abstract illusionary song seems to represent this in a sense; all of these objects that seem randomized and perhaps "misunderstood" by its naive definition, but not in the least unfelt.
"By virtue of which these pictures or images do not march past us strange and meaningless, as they would otherwise inevitably do, but speak to us directly, are understood, and acquire an interest that engrosses our whole nature"
