This is half you.
John Locke, 1632-1704, was an English philosopher and physician who claimed that our minds process the external world with either ‘primary’ or ‘secondary qualities’. The ‘primary qualities’ are size and shape, the way they exist in the external world is the way we perceive them. Colour, texture, smell, and sound are all part of the ‘secondary qualities’. These qualities are compromised by both the features of the external world and our senses.
The secondary qualities have an intrinsic relationship with the receiver; The human being-in-the-world. Therefore, they belong both in the external and internal world; Thus are the common denominator of atmosphere, external and mood, internal. They create a bridge, making us one with our environment.
