He was to treat man as man, — a subject of eye, ear, touch, and taste, in contact with external nature, and informing the senses from the mind, and not compounding a mind out of the senses...
Pàgina 433 - It requires a mind as subtle and penetrating as his own to understand the mystic meanings scattered throughout the poem. They elude the ordinary reader by their abstraction and delicacy of distinction, but they are far from vague.
Pàgina 428 - The view of life presented by the most refined deductions of the intellectual philosophy, is that of unity. Nothing exists but as it is perceived.
