Hunter.

Ruskin, A Perspective Study of a Paper Crown, 1870

As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. The best seeing is done by the hunted and the hunter, the vulnerable and the hungry.  Self-importance is a thickened, occluding form of self-consciousness.

John Updike
