We will make it crystallise, first connecting the tube containing it to another one containing a coloured liquid and closed by a cork carrying a narrow tube dipping into the coloured liquid.

He sought to crystallise his thoughts and affections; his very passion took artistic shape, and assumed in the clear light Vera's charming features. "What are you scribbling day and night?" inquired Tatiana Markovna. "Is it a play or another novel?" "I write and write, Granny, and don't know myself how it will end."

But if you let alum crystallise, you will see a whole field of pyramids. Alum is the salt deposited in clay. There you have the salt of the earth and of the sea. "But there is another kind of pyramid with blunted corners.

It is the first individual creation; the still undeveloped powers tend for the first time to crystallise; the staggering sensation produced by the demand for self-reliance imparts a seductive charm to these early performances, which is not only quite new, but which never returns.

It has no initiative. It does not even protest against the most obvious outrages upon that phantom of a world-conscience international law. Pacificists in their search for some definite starting-point, about which the immense predisposition for peace may crystallise, have suggested the Pope and various religious organisations as a possible basis for the organisation of peace.

In the meanwhile let us adopt the hypothesis that offers the most encouragement to our existence in this life; in this life which has need of us for the solution of its own enigmas, seeing that in us its secrets crystallise the most limpidly and most rapidly.
