The many flimsy films lifting from the surfaces of objects fly about in great many ways in all directions. Upon encountering one another in the air they easily amalgamate, like gold leaf upon touch, or the white down that flies off the undersides of upturned leaves in May which easily coalesces into larger tufts until it is broken down by the rain. The image of a Centaur is produced, for instance, when surface films from a horse and a man accidentally come into contact and fuse due to their delicate texture. These membranous amalgams penetrate with utmost nimbleness through the chinks of the body and with a single touch set in motion the marvelously mobile substance of the mind.
