Capitolo 92
form of him--the action to open. Because and as ago the to testify some action
to open in a person, or also his thought, produces a tendency
to the same action in the nerves and muscles of another person? When us
you try to trace the chain of the connection through the eye, the brain and
the thoughts--through that line of agencies the chain of cause and effect
it necessarily has to race--we am lost and we am puzzled.
The other states and the conditions in which the mental element is more apparent

it had to precisely be the same in the two cases. And so a joke that is able
only produces a calm smile if we read alone him to us to the fireside of the hearth

where hilarity is separated from thousand.
A new element, seems indeed to enter action in these hard two cases;
for the mental condition of a mind you/he/she is not only communicated to another,
but it seems to be increased and it intensified from the communication. Each
doesn't feel _merely_ the enthusiasm or the joy that are naturally able
