forces of the being.

virtues of the being, govern and modify the co-penetrating forces of the
body.

Science and art form two means of assimilation: The one by means of
absorption, the other by means of emanation. The one, more generous than
the other, gives and communicates; the other unceasingly receives and
appeals. Science receives, art gives. By science man assimilates the
world; by art he assimilates himself to the world. Assimilation is to
science what incarnation is to art.
If science perpetuates things in us, art perpetuates us in things and
causes us to survive therein.
