We suffer at present, I think, from the too great particularisation of our efforts.
"Civics: as Applied Sociology"
Patrick Geddes
He was unknowable, yet not unthinkable-that is to say, He was not unthinkable as Being, but only in particularisation and in realisation.
"The Prodigal Returns"
Lilian Staveley
In this living are happenings which cannot be communicated, or even indicated to others, because they reach beyond words, beyond all or any other experience, beyond any possible previous imagination or expression of mind, beyond all particularisation; it is these occasions of experience which the Critical Faculty regards as being encounters with the Supreme Spirit, because they are complete; nothing is wanting; they afford life at its perfection point-a stupendous Felicity, and that Repose in bliss for which all souls secretly long.
