The image is tied up with certain emotions usually connected with the institution of marriage, and with being a respectable breadwinner and a father. You have not completely introduced your inner image, but only hinted at it, so that to her it is secondary and unreal, when she is faced by actual events in which you behave as the inner image, she is bewildered, confused, and imagines that you are demented.

We will let the demented bit pass for now, but this represents a failure on your part, and a somewhat smug attitude of hiding what is best from view. You cannot therefore expect her to understand. It is not within the realm of either her nature or experience, but you can bring it within the realm of her experience; and what is within the realm of her experience becomes part of her nature.

If there are angry winter roots / within my many seasons /
a wildness untempered / by reason’s ways— /
a force, weirder and / more elemental than /
autumns demented fervor / (raging yet glorious, orange and /
green leaves splintered, / falling everywhere) /
then, so there is.
