Page 10 - Like tides on a crescent sea-beach When the moon is new and thin, Into our hearts high yearnings Come welling and surging in : Come from the mystic ocean \Yhose rim no foot has trod, — Some of us call it longing, And others call it God.
Page 202 - But the passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable. Granted that a definite thought, and a definite molecular action in the brain occur simultaneously; we do not possess the intellectual organ, nor apparently any rudiment of the organ, which would enable us to pass, by a process of reasoning, from the one to the other.
Page 179 - I am attacked by two very opposite sects — the scientists and the know-nothings. Both laugh at me, catting me the 'Frog's Dancing Master/ but I know that I have discovered one of the greatest Forces in Nature." The illustration given above of the transmission of the Excitement of the Particles of the Sun to the Particles of the Earth, will answer equally well in the case of Light, Heat, Magnetism and Electricity. And it will answer in the case of the transmission of these Forces between Atoms,...
Page 10 - When the moon is new and thin, Into our hearts high yearnings Come welling and surging in,— Come from the mystic ocean, Whose rim no foot has trod,— Some of us call it Longing, And others call it God.
Page 202 - ... the passage from the current to the needle, if not demonstrable, is thinkable, and that we entertain no doubt as to the final mechanical solution of the problem. But the passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable.
Page 117 - ... to the mountain-top, where the heat absorbed in vaporization is given out in condensation, while that expended by the sun in lifting the water to its present elevation is still unrestored. This we find paid back to the last unit by the friction along the river's bed ; at the bottom of the cascades where the plunge of the torrent is suddenly arrested ; in the warmth of the machinery turned by the river ; in the spark from the millstone ; beneath the...

Page 149 - There are other forces besides gravity, and one of the most active of these is chemical affinity. Thus, for instance, an atom of oxygen has a very strong attraction for one of carbon, and we may compare these two atoms to the earth and a stone lodged upon the top of a house. Within certain limits, this attraction is intensely powerful, so that when an atom of carbon and one of oxygen have been separated from each other, we have a species of energy of position just as truly as when a stone has been...
Page 196 - ... the ultimate spiritual principle, and represents the unity of those forces and energies from which spring, as their source, all phenomena, physical, mental, and spiritual, as they are known to man.
Page 162 - The idea of chemical affinity consists in the fact that the various chemical elements perceive the qualitative differences in other elements — experience 'pleasure' or 'revulsion' at contact with them, and execute specific movements on this ground.
