168, Veitch's Descartes, p. 42 ; and above, pp. 10-12. 207 208 THE PHILOSOPHY OF DESCARTES. [PART III completely understood, we are not able to say in what language it was spoken. But if words, which signify nothing except by human institution, are capable of making conceivable for us things to which they have no resemblance, why may not nature also have estab- lished a certain sign which should make us feel the sensation of light, although this sign should have nothing in itself resembling sen...sation ? Has she not thus appointed laughter and tears to make us read joy and sadness in the human countenance? But you will say, perhaps, that our ears make us perceive in reality merely the sound of the words, and our eyes only the face of him who laughs or who weeps, and that it is our mind, which, having retained what these words and this countenance signify, rep- resents it to us at the same time. To that I may reply that, just in the same way, it is our mind which rep- resents to us the idea of light whenever the action which signifies it touches our eye ; but, without wasting time in dispute, I will at once bring forward another illustration.
