Impressions ore TrusTroTing Things. They confuse one, and like a mischievous pronksTer ploy games with his sense of roTionctliTy. A Thing of impermonence, one's impression is o momenT of pro- iecTion dehned by Time and place. In a smoke-choked, beere stained room, 0 momenT of God and Truth, loughTer 0nd absurdity, confusion and frusTroTion comes. In 01 class room on impression of well-wroughT expression pressed firmly on lined paper is conceived. Impressions make our lives; iT is only whOT we see, feel, hear, or smell in The momenT of now That gives us a concepTion of what on obiecf is. From The Thousands of daily impressions which sink like leod inTo our minds To be melTed, cooled, reshaped cmol Tusecl inTo sys'rems of ThoughTs, we invenT our ideas obouT on obiecT of reoliTy.
