In like manner, every variation of a living form, however minute, however apparently accidental, is inconceivable except as the expression of the operation of molecular forces or "powers" resident within the organism. And, as these forces certainly operate according to definite laws, their general result is, doubtless, in accordance with some general law which subsumes them all.
No bad mockery, this, surely, of rationalism's habit of explaining things by putting verbal doubles of them beneath them as their ground! "All that philosophy has sought as cause, or reason," he says, "pluralism subsumes in the status and the given fact, where it stands as plausible as it may ever hope to stand.
We met, we stood, we faced, we talked While those of baser birth withdrew; I told you of an Earl I knew; You said you thought the wine was corked; And so we parted on my lips A light farewell, but in my soul The image of a perfect whole, A Viscount to the finger tips An image Yes; but thou art gone; For nature red in tooth and claw Subsumes under an equal law Viscount and Iguanodon.
Nothing is more interesting in tracing Virgil's genius, than to note how each fullest development of his talent subsumes and embraces those that had gone before it; how his mind energises in a continuous mould, and seems to harp with almost jealous constancy on strings it has once touched. The deeper we study him, the more clearly is this feature seen.
Thus conscious will controls and directs the exercise of the vital functions according to desire, and moral consciousness tends to control desire in obedience to higher dictates. The action of living organisms depends upon and subsumes the laws of inorganic matter. Similarly the actions of animal life depend upon and subsume the laws of organic matter.
