OF RICHARD JEFFERIES 



separation— no past ; eternity, the Now, 

 is continuous. When all the stars have 

 revolved they only produce Now again. 

 The continuity of Now is for ever. — ' The 

 Story of my Heart.' 



AS I move about in the sunshine 

 I feel in the midst of the super- 

 . natural : in the midst of im- 

 mortal things. It is impossible to wrest 

 the mind down to the same laws that 

 rule pieces of timber, water, or earth. 

 They do not control the soul, however 

 rigidly they may bind matter. — 'The 

 Story of my Heart' 



THE air, the sunlight, the night, 

 all that surrounds me seems 

 crowded with inexpressible 

 powers, with the influence of souls, or 

 existences, so that I walk in the midst 

 of immortal things. — ' The Story of my 

 Heart.'
