Light For Some Time To Come Will

Has Anyone...any Distinct Notion Of What Poets Of A Stronger Age Understood By The Word Inspiration? ... There Is An Ecstasy Such That The Immese Strain Of It Is Sometimes Relaxed By A Flood Of Tears, Along With Which One's Steps Either Rush Or Involuntarily Lag, Alternately. There Is The Feeling That One Is Completely Out Of Hand, With The Very Distinct Consciousness Of An Endless Number Of Fine Thrills And Quiverings To The Very Toes... Everything Happens Quite Involuntarily, As If In A Tempestuous Outburst Of Freedom, Of Absoluteness, Of Power And Divinity.

We Have Arranged For Ourselves A World In Which We Can Live - By Positing Bodies, Lines, Planes, Causes And Effects, Motion And Rest, Form And Content; Without These Articles Of Faith Nobody Could Now Endure Life. But That Does Not Prove Them. Life Is No Argument. The Conditions Of Life Might Include Error.
