We are indeed to have appetites, but the appetites are not to have us, so we should now say

We are indeed to have _mind_, but mind is not to have us. If the latter seems lacking in sense, think _e. g._ of the fact that with so many a man a thought becomes a

The _spirit_ of morality and legality holds him a prisoner; a rigid, unbending _master_. They call that the

The _spirit_ remains the absolute _lord_ for both, and their only quarrel is over who shall occupy the hierarchical throne that pertains to the
