While reading through Image
and pilgrimage in Christian culture by Victor Turner and Edith Turner I came
across the following quote, “As all know, every symbol has a signifier and a
signified. The personifying is the sensorily perceptible vehicle of a
conception. The personifying process here involves a changing relation between
signifier and signified.” (143). As the symbol is as important to the
signifier, the signifier is equally important to the symbol. Without the other
neither would be recognized and lost in both writing and nature. It explains
the operation from in how an idea is created from a conception.
