Bible

"I saw an experiment on how to purify methylated spirits? They put a handful of soil in a glass. It was about halfway up the glass. Then it was filled to the top with spirit. They stirred it. ...Now, I thought, if this mixture could speak, it would say so: - I am mud. The contents of the glass began to clear. It was still cloudy, but it was clearer above. I thought: now the mixture, if it had a sense of itself, a feeling of itself, would not dare to swear that it was mud. Then the murkiness disappeared completely. ... Now, I thought, if the contents of the glass could speak, they would speak now: - I am spirit."
