Agnes subtracts from her self everything that is exterior and borrowed, in order to come closer to her sheer essence {even with the risk that zero lurks at the bottom of the subtraction}. Laura's method is precisely the opposite: in order to make her self ever more visible, perceivable, seizable, sizeable, she keeps adding to it more and more attributes and she attempts to identify herself with them {with the risk that the essence of the self may be buried by the additional attributes}.
