Explore "Vox Populi Vox Dei" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I never said that the _vox populi_ was of course the _vox Dei_. It may be; / but it may be, and with equal probability, _a priori_, _vox Diaboli_. That / the voice of ten millions of men calling for the same thing is a spirit, I / believe; but whether that be a spirit of Heaven or Hell, I can only know by / trying the thing called for by the prescript of reason and God's will.
Black is the negation of colour in its greatest energy. Without lustre, it / indicates or represents vacuity, as, for instance, in the dark mouth of a / cavern; add lustre, and it will represent the highest degree of solidity, / as in a polished ebony box.
In finite forms there is no real and absolute identity. God alone is / identity. In the former, the prothesis is a bastard prothesis, a _quasi_ / identity only.
