Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Quest of the Ideal
Phantoms arise, formless, blown like smoke along the far horizons of the mind. Day by day, night after night, the mind pursues the half-seen chase; a shadowy huntsman following a shadowy stag where hunter and hunted and forest are one. At last one mind more powerful than the rest, sees more clearly, and hunts more swiftly; the idea is grasped, a name is fixed upon it, and the world has a new word for its use; the mind of the world is the wiser by a thought.
