II THE CONTENTS OF THE MIND 87 



mere common-sense folks, very much disposed to 

 call sensation knowledge, they at once gratify that 

 disposition and save their consistency, by declaring 

 that even the simplest act of sensation contains, 

 two terms and a relation the sensitive subject 

 the sensigenous object, and that masterful entity, 

 the Ego. From which great triad, as from a 

 gnostic Trinity, emanates an endless procession of 

 other logical shadows and all the Fata Morgana of 

 philosophical, dreamland.
