[The Mystic Will by Charles Godfrey Leland]@TWC D-Link bookThe Mystic Will CHAPTER III 13/25
After a few repetitions it will be found that, though irritating accidents may countervene, the mind will recur more and more to calm. _To feel cheerful or merry_. _To be in a brave, courageous, hearty or vigorous mood_. _To work hard without feeling weary_.
This I have fully tested with success, and especially mention it for the benefit of students.
All of my intimate friends can certify what I here assert. _To keep the faculty of quickness of perception alert_, as, for instance, when going out to perceive more than usual in a crowd.
A botanist or mineralogist may awaken the faculty with the hope of observing or finding with success. _To be susceptible to beauty_, as, for instance, when visiting a scene or gallery.
In such cases it means to derive Attention from Will.
