It will reduce to a parti-coloured level the whole field of pains and pleasures.

The moral element gives this level a new dimension.

Working underneath it as a subterranean force, it convulses and divides its surface.

Here vast areas subside into valleys and deep abysses; there mountain peaks shoot up heavenwards.

Mysterious shadows begin to throng the hollows; new tints and half-tints flicker and shift everywhere; mists hang floating over ravines and precipices; the vegetation grows more various, here slenderer, there richer and more luxuriant; whilst high over all, bright on the topmost summits, is a new strange something--the white snows of purity, catching the morning streaks on them of a brighter day, that has never as yet risen upon the world below.
With the subtraction, or nullifying, of the moral force, all this will go.
