Summary

This quote highlights the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the human brain. It compares the brain to an enchanted loom, suggesting that it is a complex and creative instrument constantly in motion. The "flashing shuttles" symbolize the rapid firing of thoughts, ideas, and connections within the brain. The mention of a dissolving pattern refers to the transient and fleeting nature of these thoughts, but it also asserts that they are always meaningful, if not enduring.

The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.
