Excerpt from Sounding the Ocean of Air: Being Six Lectures, Delivered Before the Lowell Institute of Boston in December 1898And strengthening it they are re¿ected and detach all the particles they can carry away, vapours descend and rise again, the winds come empty and return laden with spoil, animals breathe in from above this vital ¿uid which animates them, and the earth sends it back to its source as if She would fill the void by this means. So, by Nature acting everywhere and in all directions there results an apparent discord from which is born the harmony of the Universe, it is this general movement which puts all things in their places some are preserved by the destruction of others all move, all act, the struggle is continual, if it ceased an instant every thing would fall into Chaos.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
