180. lappuse - But having thus loosened all our particular perceptions, when I proceed to explain the principle of connection which binds them together and makes us attribute to them a real simplicity and identity, I am sensible that my account is very defective, and that nothing but the seeming evidence of the precedent reasonings could have induced me to receive it.
181. lappuse - If, therefore, we speak of the Mind as a series of feelings, we are obliged to complete the statement by calling it a series of feelings which is aware of itself as past and future ; and we are reduced to the alternative of believing that the Mind or Ego is something different from any series of feelings or possibilities of them, or of accepting the paradox that something which, ex hypothesi, is but a series of feelings, can be aware of itself as a series..
181. lappuse - In short there are two principles which I cannot render consistent, nor is it in my power to renounce either of them: viz., that all our distinct perceptions are distinct existences, and that the mind never perceives any real connection among distinct existences.

295. lappuse - Then, welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe!
151. lappuse - And glistening antlers are descried ; And gilded flocks appear. Thine is the tranquil hour, purpureal eve ! But long as god-like wish, or hope divine, Informs my spirit, ne'er can I believe That this magnificence is wholly thine ! From worlds not quickened by the sun A portion of the gift is won ; An intermingling of Heaven's pomp is spread On ground which British shepherds tread...
45. lappuse - But all my hopes vanish when I come to explain the principles that unite our successive perceptions in our thought or consciousness.
