This night he would sleep sleep as little children do in the all-enveloping, friendly, comforting dark. Scarcely could he wait till a proper bedtime hour came. He forgot that he had had no supper; forgot in that delectable anticipation the disillusionizing experiences of the day.
This notion of an ALL-ENVELOPING NOETIC UNITY in things is the sublimest achievement of intellectualist philosophy. Those who believe in the Absolute, as the all-knower is termed, usually say that they do so for coercive reasons, which clear thinkers cannot evade. The Absolute has far-reaching practical consequences, some of which I drew attention in my second lecture.

She had the illogical feeling that some one had been kind to her. She put her things away in the drawers, and even had the courage to lay out for herself the all-enveloping gingham apron, much shortened, which Mrs.
Pinky sat up, tense. "For a change? Dad, I want to talk to you about that. Mother needs " Mrs. Brewster's light footstep sounded in the hall. She wore an all-enveloping gingham apron.
