Plants live, not merely in the common sense of the word, 

 which includes activity of every kind, but in that stricter 

 sense, by which a higher and self-dependent activity is ex- 

 pressed. 



If we compare natural bodies with one another, we find 

 some which are produced by an attraction of primitive mat- 

 ters, and which are destroyed by a process of the same kind.
