remain, and by the established order. There is an 

 unwritten constitution, a spirit that governs, like 

 Maeterlinck's "spirit of the hive." The traditions 

 of the body are handed down from mother cell to

 of physiology or metabolism I do not know. But 

 this we know that you are you and I am I, and 

 that human life and personality can never be fully 

 explained or accounted for in terms of the material 

 forces.
