The Physiology of some Phases of the Poetic Mind

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

As the knowledge and appreciation of light are rendered more distinctive by the near presence of a shade, and as the idea of absolute smoothness is presented to the mind with a keener readiness when viewed in relation to an inequality of surface; so in mental science such phenomena as are normal, and therefore in a sense unvaried, are better known when studied in connection with others that are abnormal, and in consequence more clearly to be individualised.
