business and
earning his day's wages.

an all-excluding
fulness to the object...they alight upon...

balanced mediocre
minds.

a Delphi whereof to ask
concerning any thought or thing, whether it be verily so, yea or nay?
and to
have answer, and to rely on that? All the debts which such a man could
contract to other wit would never disturb his consciousness of
originality; for the ministrations of books and of other minds are a
whiff of smoke to
that most private reality with which he has conversed.
ShP 4.202 18 There is somewhat touching in the madness
with which the

Northumberland./

preliminary
conviction, namely, that if it be best that conscious personal life
shall
continue, it will continue; if not best, then it will not;...

when such [best
and freest] minds enter it, they are coldly received...
Chr2 10.116 12 ...the simple and free minds among our
clergy have not
resisted the voice of Nature...

minds.

in childhood and
youth no longer hold their old place in the minds of thoughtful men...
SovE 10.204 26 I will not now go into the metaphysics

becomes more obvious in the least religious minds.

power has ever been an escape from too much engagement with affairs and
possessions;...
