Now Truth is the power to arouse a certain reaction (“assent”) in a man, under certain conditions; (“greenness”, weight, ail other qualities, are also powers).

Again “Do what thou wilt”, the most sublimely austere ethical precept ever uttered, despite its apparent licence, is seen on analysis to be indeed “the whole of the Law”, the sole and sufficient warrant for human action, the self-evident Code of Righteousness, the identification of Fate with Freewill, and the end of the Civil War in Man’s nature by appointing the Canon of Truth, the conformity of things with themselves, to détermine his every act. “…
