First sentence: THE motto prefixed by Pogson to his English translation of Bergson's Essai sur les donnees immediates de la conscience is the following characteristic quotation from Plotinus: If a man were to inquire of Nature the reason of her creative activity, and if she were willing to give ear and answer, she would say: "Ask me not, but understand in silence, even as I am silent and am not wont to speak."
