For a Thing at the moment is but a Thing of the moment/ it must be taken up into the mind, diffuse itself thro' the whole multitude of Shapes and Thoughts, not one of which it leaves untinged - between wch & it some Thought is not engendered/ this is a work of Time/ but the Body feels it quicken with me - Coleridge Notebooks II, 1597
