Another patient, 86 years old and periodically confused, often stood before the mirror in his hospital room and rhythmically chanted either happily or angrily. He was especially given to angry flare-ups and crying spells over food, money, and clothes. When angry he would screech obscenities at his mirror image, so savagely beating his fist upon a nearby table that the staff tried to protect him by covering the mirror. But in contrast to the first patient he denied that the image was himself, and when an observer came up beside him and said, “See, this is me in the mirror and there you are in the mirror,” he smiled and said, “That’s you in the mirror all right, but that’s not me.”

別の患者は86歳で、周期的に混乱した状態が起こったが、しばしば病室の鏡の前に立ち、嬉しそうに、あるいは怒ったようにリズミカルに歌を歌っていた。彼は特に食べるものや金は着るもののことでかっとなったり呪文を唱えたりした。かっとなると、彼は鏡に映る自分の姿に無作法な言葉を鋭く発し、荒々しく近くにあるテーブルを叩いたので、スタッフは鏡にカバーをかけて彼を守ろうとした。だが最初の患者とは対照的に、かれは(鏡に映る)姿は自分自身だということを否定し、監視の人が近くに寄って「ほら、鏡のここに映っているのが私で、そこにいるのはあなたですよ。」と言うと、彼はにっこり笑ってこう言った。「なるほど、鏡に映っているのはあなただ。でもこれは私じゃない。」
