Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Works of Francis Bacon, Vol. 16: Lord Chancellor of England The foundation position is, that "All tangible bodies contain a spirit enveloped with the grosser body. There is no known body, in the upper parts of the earth, without its spirit, whether it be generated by the attenuating and concocting power of the celestial warmth, or otherwise; for the pores of tangible bodies are not a vacuum, but either contain air, or the peculiar spirit of the substance; and this not a vis, an energy, or a fiction, but a real, subtile, and invisible, and, therefore, neglected body, circumscribed by place and dimension." This doctrine is thus stated in the Excursion: "To every form of being is assigned An active principle, howe´er removed From sense and observation; it subsists In all things, in all natures, in the stars Of azure heaven, the unenduring clouds, In flower and tree, and every pebbly stone That paves the brooks, the stationary rocks, The moving waters, and the invisible air. Whate´er exists hath properties that spread Beyond itself, communicating good, A simple blessing or with evil mixed: Spirit that knows no insulated spot, No chasm, no solitude: from link to link It circulates, the soul of all the worlds."
