102 Synesthesia
t is because such diverse sensory experiences as a white circle (rather than black), a straight line (rather than crooked), a rising melody (rather than a falling one), a sweet taste (rather than a sour one), a caressing touch (rather than an irritating scratch)-it is because all these diverse experiences can share a common affective meaning that one easily and lawfully translates from one sensory modality into another in synesthesia and metaphor.... In other words, the "common market in meaning" seems to be based firmly in the biological systems of emotional and purposive behavior that all humans share.
