I should put it thus: this group of pines, this lonely shore, or whatever the scene may be, has made the soul thrill with an emotion intense but vague in the sense in which music is vague; and the man of letters does his best to realise-rather, perhaps, to actualise-this emotion by inventing a tale about the pines or the sands.
"Far Off Things"
Arthur Machen
In order to actualise and to live this better type of life we have got to live better from both sides, both the mental and the physical, this with all due respect to Shakespeare and to all modern mental scientists.
"The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit"
Ralph Waldo Trine
The things that he sees in the ideal, his strong, positive, and therefore creative type of thought, is continually helping to actualise in the realm of the real.
