thing mysterious. deep. high. full of
mystery; you do not understand it and
you call it Soul

and impressions are stored, in which
thoughts are woven in which plans are
made, in which the strange processes of
logic are carried on: you do not under
stand this, and you label it Mind

race, the millions who have strived.
