It is the insistence on Life, Life continuous, and ever-renewing, which is the abiding characteristic of these cults, a characteristic which differentiates them utterly and entirely from the ancestral worship with which Sir W. Ridgeway would fain connect them.
Those who are afraid that a large increase in the productivity of each workman will throw other men out of work, should realize that the one element more than any other which differentiates civilized from uncivilized countries prosperous from poverty stricken peoples is that the average man in the one is five or six times as productive as the other.
You know neither where Number begins, nor where it pauses, nor where it ends. Here you call it Time, there you call it Space. Nothing exists except by Number. Without it, all would be one and the same substance; for Number alone differentiates and qualifies substance. Number is to your Spirit what it is to Matter, an incomprehensible agent. Will you make a Deity of it? Is it a being?
And as the hospitality of Boston was prodigious, splendid, unintermittent, and most delightfully unaffected, I had no difficulty whatever in taking Boston as she came. And my impressions began to emerge, one after another, from the rich and cloudy confusion of novel sensations. What primarily differentiates Boston from all the other cities I saw is this: It is finished; I mean complete.
The inmost, the characteristic thing, that which differentiates one community from another, as tastes or colours differentiate things that a nation hardly ever knows until it is pointed out to it by some foreigner or by some observer from within. It cannot know it, because one cannot tell the very atmosphere in which one lives. It is universal and therefore unnoticed.
Of course, through their meanings, word-sounds indicate the causes and objects of emotion and this differentiates music from poetry but in poetry the emotion is still the primary thing, springing from inner strivings, and not from objects, as in painting and sculpture.
Brükmann differentiates too the different kinds of sentimentalism and their effects in much the same fashion as Campe in his treatise published two years before. In all this Brükmann may be regarded as the mouth-piece of the author.
Taking intelligence for granted, the imagination is the most important factor involved in interpretation. If the imagination be quick and responsive it will carry the singer away from himself and temporarily he will live the song. Every song has an atmosphere, a metaphysical something which differentiates it from every other song.
The thing which really differentiates people from each other, and which sets a few fine souls ahead of the crowd, is a certain clearness of vision.
This ideal influences the action, the policy, of statesmen earlier in the century; but in Chatham its precise character, that which differentiates the ideal of Britain from that, say, of Rome, is less clear than in Burke. And in the seventeenth century, unless in a latent unconscious form, it can hardly be traced at all.
