Whitman: All Truths

Zitat

„All truths wait in all things,
They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it.
They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon.
The insignificant is as big to me as any,
(What is less or more than a touch ?)
Logic and sermons never convince,
The damp of the night drives deeper into my soul.“
(no. 30) #Whitman #AllTruths

Berkeley: Idea

Zitat

„First, It is evident that when the Mind perceives any Idea, not immediately and of it self, it must be by the means of some other Idea. Thus, for Instance, the Passions which are in the Mind of another, are of themselves, to me invisible. I may nevertheless perceive them by Sight, tho‘ not immediately yet, by means of the Colours they produce in the Countenance. We do often see Shame or Fear in the Looks of a Man, by perceiving the Changes of his Countenance to Red or Pale.“ (no. IX) #Berkeley #idea

Emerson: Nature

Zitat
