WITHOUT TOUCH OR SIGHT HE COULD HAVE NO IDEA OF FORM OR SIZE WHICH ARE MERELY CONDITIONS OF SPACE AND BOTH THE PAST AND FUTURE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NON EXISTENT FOR IT
e forest had vanished, and there was the motor-car, just spinning past him. He was on the Wimbledon Common of the twentieth century once more. He stroked his clean-shaven chin with his finger and thumb, and walked slowly along the path by the side of the road, and then across the grass towards the flagstaff. "I think I begin to see it now," he murmured. "Of course, life, that is to say real, intellectual, or, as some would say, spiritual life, is, after all, the coefficient of that totally unexplainable thing called thought which enables us to explain most things except itself. Time and space and location are only realities to us in so far that we can see them. A human being born blind, dumb, deaf, and without feeling would still, I suppose, be a human being, because it would be conscious of existence; it would breathe and know that its heart was beating, but without sight or sensation there could be no idea of space--time, to it, would be a meaningless series of breaths or heartbeats.
