SELFNESS

Our life not being an emanation from God, but a personal

self-containing product of his power, we are not born to a

perception of truth which floods our capacities as soon as

they are opened, as the tides of a sea pour up each inlet that

is scooped out to receive them; we do not receive pleasure,

and utter it mechanically, as the pipes of the organ pour out

without partaking the harmonies that breathe through them. But

we, each one of us, as our life is unfolded, separate from all

others, radically discriminated in its vital unity from that of

every other, must set up for ourselves on the theater of the

universe.--RICHARD S. STORRS.
