It can not be denied that this answer was as perfect in its logic as in its wit. Beauty exists only as it is seen, and in the seeing. He who has the sense of vision knows what it is, and no definition can add to that knowledge. The blind man may indeed reasonably ask in what beauty consists, but for him an answer must always be impossible. By the same 1eason ing, it is plain, I might prove to you that, What 1s Insanity Z is a lunatic's question. To the sound mind, insanity is known as a judgment from the appearance of disorder 1n the looks, words and actions of another. In the partially insane mind, it is a conscious ness of disorder in certain directions of thought or feeling. The wholly insane alone have no knowledge of it in themselves or others, nor can have any. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
