(1) This, first:

That all spirit is mutually attractive, as all matter is
mutually attractive, is an ultimate fact beyond which we cannot
go.... Spirit to spirit--as in water face answereth to face, so
the heart of man to man.

(2) And this other, from the writings of an obscure Welsh
clergyman of the 17th century:

You will never enjoy the world aright till the sea itself
floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens
and crowned with the stars.



[Footnote 1: The reader will kindly turn back to p.1, and observe
the date at the head of this lecture. At that time I was engaged
against a system of English teaching which I believed to be
thoroughly bad. That system has since given place to another,
which I am prepared to defend as a better.]
