What the mathematician tells us about real points and real lines has no bearing on the constitution of the single experience and its parts. Thus, when he tells us that between any two points on a line there are an infinite number of other points, he only means that we may expand the line indefinitely by the system of substitutions described above.
But place yourself at a bound, or d'emblée, as M. Bergson says, inside of the living, moving, active thickness of the real, and all the abstractions and distinctions are given into your hand: you can now make the intellectualist substitutions to your heart's content.
The fading pictures are displaced by other pictures, and then by names or symbols. But the emotion goes on, capable now of being aroused by the substituted images and names. Even in severe thinking these substitutions take place, for if a man is trying to compare two complicated situations, he soon finds exhausting the attempt to hold both fully in mind in all their detail.
"There ain't nary bitty sense in it." More interesting are substitutions of one sound for another. In mountain dialect all vowels may be interchanged with others. So any other vowel may serve in place of e: sarve, chist, upsot, tumble. The word coil is variously pronounced quile, querl or quorl. They never drop h, nor substitute anything for it.
We have had to make substitutions of machinery, our bills are overdue, and but what's the use! We need money. That's the crux of the whole affair. When Hilliard balked, he threw the whole proposition." "And I'm stung for ten thou," reflected Clyde, lugubriously. "Ten thousand drops of my heart's red blood! Good Lord! I'm a fierce business man. Say!
Slowly he heaves and pushes, now at this, now at the life-line hitching on knob, handle, lever or projecting peg on anything or nothing in that maze of machinery; by involution and evolution, like the unknown quantity in a cubic equation, through all the twists, turns, assumptions and substitutions, and always with that unmanageable, indivisible coefficient the box, until he reaches the upper air.
However, "influential" is a good word and usual in obituaries, so Bethuel let it stand. He continued: "Captain Hall's sudden death " Erasure of "death" and substitution of "demise." Then: " Was a shock to the community at large. It happened on account of " More erasures and substitutions.
The previous thefts had been masked by substitutions, but whoever had helped himself to one of the more recent metallic-cartridge specimens, the night before, hadn't bothered with any such precaution, and a pair of vacant screwhooks disclosed the removal. A second look told Rand what had been taken: the little .25 Webley & Scott from the Pollard collection, with the silencer.
They form the body of poetry; but the ideal and emotional atmosphere which is its soul depends on things external to language, which no perfection in the medium could modify. It might seem as if the brilliant substitutions, the magic suggestions essential to poetry, would necessarily vanish in the full light of day.
The plague of darkness had lifted after fifteen minutes' duration. "Call Monsieur X," he gasped to the day operator. In fifteen minutes, by rapid substitutions of batteries to weaken or strengthen the sending current, he had redetermined his previous data. Apparently, without the shadow of a doubt, Monsieur X was within the circle. "He may be at sea," suggested the operator.
