Thus I do not say that bodies seem or appear to be external to me, or that my soul seems merely to be given in my self-consciousness, although I maintain that the properties of space and time, in conformity to which I set both, as the condition of their existence, abide in my mode of intuition, and not in the objects in themselves.

 The question is, whether these intervals do not afford us the idea of extension without body? For there is a close relation betwixt that motion and darkness, and a real extension, or composition of visible and tangible objects. According to the idea of reason, the whole past time, as the condition of the given moment, is necessarily cogitated as given. But the same relation has not an equal influence in conveying us back again. There enters nothing into this operation of the mind but a present impression, a lively idea, and a relation or association in the fancy betwixt the impression and idea; so that there can be no suspicion of mistake. The gay naturally associate themselves with the gay, and the amorous with the amorous: But the proud never can endure the proud, and rather seek the company of those who are of an opposite disposition. Every human creature resembles ourselves, and by that means has an advantage above any other object, in operating on the imagination. But there are some self-subsistent and permanent, through which a determined object is given. Such a degree of gravity, therefore, and such years, are connected together in our thoughts.
