Summary

This quote is a humorous play on words, categorizing the five senses in an unconventional manner. It suggests that the senses can be described as different types of "sense" - horse sense (practical wisdom), innocence (naivety), common sense (practical knowledge), concupiscence (desire or lust), and nonsense (foolishness). By creatively reinterpreting the senses, this quote invites us to consider the varying aspects and complexities of our sensory perceptions.

On this night I had searched for them without success, fearing to find them; they were nowhere in the house, nor about the moonlit dawn. For, although the sun is lost to us for ever, the moon, full-orbed or slender, remains to us. Sometimes it shines by night, sometimes by day, but always it rises and sets, as in that other life.
