What years of labour and patience are spent in deciphering and resolving a single motion in a single star; for example, the small circle described by the celestial pole around its mean place ! Yet here are millions of such facts set up and flung into a definition, without so much as raising any problem at all ! to take for granted the law of gravitation or the *50 WILL AND KINDS OF BEING. [Book II. chemical rules of definite proportion, would be a small petitio compared with this. And what is t...he object of so vast an assumption ? Simply to turn the back upon the inevitable step from the indeterminate to the determinate, and present the sublime look of never quitting definite ground. It virtually says, c We will allow nothing to be possible but that from which the universe must come ; as to all else, since it has not turned up, we may presume that it could not y and we may safely neglect it and leave it out in the cold ; what we want for our journey of deduction we take, and ask no questions.' But, in spite of this ignoring resolve, the ' cold ' and dark really remain behind, though you have no eyes in that direction to look into them ; and they hide other possibles than those which you allow to pass — ' possibles' because no more excluded than yours by any contradiction ; nor can you help recognising them, at the moment of denying them ; for, while you will not admit any objective Will, to part them from the rest by selection, you perform that very act yourself and choose what you want in the interests, not of a universe, but of a theory.
