But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.

But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less mer

Summary

This quote suggests that when others intervene or interfere in our actions, it reduces our tendency to act solely based on our immediate instincts or impulses. It implies that outside influences can restrain or hinder our pursuit of instant gratification. By intervening, others may introduce alternative perspectives or considerations that may lead us to alter our course of action, making it less focused on fulfilling our immediate desires or impulses. This highlights the potential impact of external influences on our decision-making process.

Fair flower, that dost so comely grow, Hid in this silent, dull retreat,Untouched thy honied blossoms blow,Unseen thy little branches greet;...No roving foot shall crush thee here,...No busy hand provoke a tear.By Nature's self in white arrayed,She bade thee shun the vulgar eye,And planted here the gaurdian shade,And sent soft waters murmuring by;...Thus quietly thy summer goes,...Thy days declinging to repose.Smit with those charms, that must decay,I grieve to see your future doom;They died--nor were those flowers more gay,The flowers that did in Eden bloom;...Unpitying frosts, and Autumn's power...Shall leave no vestige of this flower.From morning suns and evenign dewsAt first thy little being came:If nothing once, you nothing lose,For when you die you are the same;...The space between, is but an hour,...The frail duration of a flower.

There are lone figures armed only with ideas, sometimes with just one idea, who blast away whole epochs in which we are enwrapped like mummies. Some are powerful enough to resurrect the dead. Some steal on us unawares and put a spell over us which it takes centuries to throw off. Some put a curse on us, for our stupidity and inertia, and then it seems as if God himself were unable to lift it.
