It seemed to me that it must be some personal experience, as if the writer had followed some dear friend there, although it was with the unostentation and indefiniteness of true and delicate feeling.
So, too, the problems that arise when we penetrate farther and farther into the ever more and more minute, and the indefiniteness of our thought-horizons in general should have the same effect. Intuitions of Reality. For “in feeling and intuition appearance points beyond itself to real being.” So ran our fifth proposition.
If we were to suppose each element ready to combine with any other indifferently, and indifferently in any quantity, we should have a world in which all would be confusion and indefiniteness. There would be no fixed kinds of bodies. Salts, and stones, and ores, would approach to and graduate into each other by insensible degrees.
"Yes, higher than that." "As high as the moon?" "No, not so high as the moon." "How high is it then, mother?" "About as high as birds can fly." "Oh!" says Johnny, perfectly satisfied. The answer is somewhat indefinite, it is true, but its indefiniteness is the chief element in the value of it.

Columba, In writing the early history of Ireland, one of the greatest difficulties which the historian great or small has to encounter is to be found in that curious unreality, that tantalizing sense of illusiveness and indefiniteness which seems to envelope every figure whose name crops up on his pages.
And so we parted, with a thousand things unsaid, on a note of ineffectuality, of suspense, of vague indefiniteness. And the next morning I received from her this brief missive, which threw me into a wild condition of joyous expectancy: "If you could meet me in the Church of St. Gilles at eleven o'clock this morning, I should like to have your advice upon a certain matter. Rosa."
"I'm so glad he's dead," said she. "I know the cruel man deserved his fate. He'll be off your mind, now, dear; and nobody can say you did it."
