 unwritten constitution, a spirit that governs, like 

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

 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.
