We pause in our building to cover the stones with figures and calculations.

We save money for a Latin Grammar and Algebra, and carry them about in our pockets, poring over them as over our Bible of old.

We have thought we were utterly stupid, incapable of remembering anything, of learning anything.

Now we find that all is easy.

Has a new soul crept into this old body, that even our intellectual faculties are changed?
We marvel; not perceiving that what a man expends in prayer and ecstasy he cannot have over for acquiring knowledge.
