Excerpt from Motion-Life, or the Demon of the Age and Means of Its Exorcism Among the many evidences of life, are there any so forcible as that of motion? So instinctive in the mind is the connection between life and motion, that, wherever a child sees continued and active motion for the first time, it immediately personifies the thing as a living object, and gives to it a motive to action; saying, "What for does it do" this or that. The story of the watch being taken for a live animal by the savage, is familiar to all. Inertness or immobility naturally suggests the idea of death, in an object which we have been accustomed to see alive; and unadaptedness to the reception of life, or the impossibility of vivification in that of others. Hence the term "dead matter," and many similar forcible expressions in common use. Hence also, by contrast, are such epithets as "full of life," applied to objects which manifest great activity and vigor. Strange that this, so obvious a sign of life, should have been suggestive of so little. It has become the custom in this wise and artificial age, not to look at the obvious quality and meaning of things, but to obstinately close our eyes to what is plainly visible, and seek for some hidden meaning, unseen by other minds, that thereby we may display the superiority of our penetration or research.
