Great Regulars: Enough people, I think, have experienced

this "sense sublime/Of something far more deeply interfused" that "rolls through all things"--to borrow from Wordsworth--that it ought not to be dismissed out of hand because it is not subject to scientific verification.

Truth can be arrived at as much by introspection as by dissection. If you quietly observe something--a still life, a junco hopping about in your back yard, a potted geranium atop a crumbling wall--what you observe ceases after a time to be entirely "out there."

from Frank Wilson: When Falls the Coliseum: That's What He Said: Death and the importance of imagination
