Catalan term or phrase: Més enllà dels meus ulls
Hello again Catalan forum!
I am proofreading a translation from Spanish (originally Catalan), a guidebook on Catalonia. It includes some extracts from literary works, and some of the titles have not been translated. I know very little Catalan, and am doing some invesitgation and guesswork. Of course, I don´t particularly trust my guesswork, and would really appreciate your expertise. So thanks in advance.
This is a book by Joan B. Bertan published in 1984.
I am guessing that this means "Beyond My Eyes", roughly, but need your help. What would the title of this work be in English?
Thanks so much!

Beyond My Eyes


Explanation:
Sounds a bit odd, but I don't think there's any other option.

Més enllà

Més enllà dels meus ulls closos,
de les meves mans obertes,
més enllà dels sons i les paraules,
de la gent i les coses que m’envolten.

Més enllà.

Més enllà de les ordres i les normes,
de les lleis, càstigs i judicis,
més enllà de la por, dubtes i cabòries,
més enllà de mi, ets tu.

Més enllà.

Beyond my sight


Explanation:
I'd avoid eyes altogether here. It is what the eyes see that this goes beyond.
