THE SENSES.

THE senses are the instruments of the soul.

(See First Thoughts.)

“Even so the soul in this contracted state,
Confined to these strait instruments of sense,
More dull and narrowly doth operate;
At this hole hears, the sight must ray from hence,
Here tastes, there smells
She is one orb of sense, all eye, all airy ear.”

From earth to heaven he rolls his frenzied eye.”

BUSINESS.

Man can be studied best in the business of life. Work and rest alike show what he is.

With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,

Learn to labor and to wait."
