Annotation: The symbolic meaning imposes itself on me by a double determination: it is intentional (this is what the author meant) and it is taken from a sort of general, common lexicon of symbols: it is a meaning that goes to meet me. I propose to call this complete sign the obvious meaning. As for the other meaning, the third, the one that comes 'in excess', like a supplement that my intellect cannot quite absorb, at once stubborn and fleeting, smooth and eluding, I propose to call it 'the obtuse meaning.' --Roland Barthes
