Nor is this all. Since doctors are now recognising the efficacy of music as a healing agency, notably in connection with nervous and mental diseases — and, moreover, in the face of so many experiments and researches conducted by such scientists as Richet, Charcot, Sir William Crookes, and other eminent men — why should we despise the word " magic," because it was at one time merely used as a convenient generalisation for a certain class of phenomena ? If the poet chooses to employ simple words,... such as witchcraft, obsession, ecstasy, sorcery, and magic, while the scientist prefers such erudite appellations as telekinesis, telasthesia, springomyelitis, etc., to enlarge his already over- burdened vocabulary, does it imply that one is any nearer to truth than the other ?
