We must particularise this general proposition....

110. The consciousness of the falsity of present pleasures, and the
ignorance of the vanity of absent pleasures, cause inconstancy.

111. Inconstancy.--We think we are playing on ordinary organs when playing
upon man. Men are organs, it is true, but, odd, changeable, variable with
pipes not arranged in proper order. Those who only know how to play on
ordinary organs will not produce barmonies on these. We must know where are.

112. Inconstancy.--Things have different qualities, and the soul different

most powerful State in the world, are very opposite things. They are united
in the person of the great Sultan of the Turks.

114. Variety is as abundant as all tones of the voice, all ways of walking,
coughing, blowing the nose, sneezing. We distinguish vines by their fruit,
and call them the Condrien, the Desargues, and such and such a stock. Is
this all? Has a vine ever produced two bunches exactly the same, and has a
bunch two grapes alike, etc.?

I can never judge of the same thing exactly in the same way. I cannot judge
of my work, while doing it. I must do as the artists, stand at a distance,
but not too far. How far, then? Guess.

115. Variety.--Theology is a science, but at the same time how many
sciences? A man is a whole; but if we dissect him, will he be the head, the
heart, the stomach, the veins, each vein, each portion of a vein, the blood,
each humour in the blood?

A town, a country-place, is from afar a town and a country-place. But, as we
draw near, there are houses, trees, tiles, leaves, grass, ants, limbs of
ants, in infinity. All this is contained under the name o
