We have every reason to think that creatures may possibly differ enormously in the amounts of duration which they intuitively feel, and in the fineness of the events that may fill it...Suppose we were able, within the length of a second, to note 10,000 events distinctly, instead of barely 10, as now; if our life were then destined to hold the same number pof impressions, it might be 1000 times as short. We should live less than a month, and personall know nothing of the change of seasons. If born in wonter, we should believe in summer as we now believe in the heats of the Carboniferous era. The motions of organic beings would be so slow to our senses as to be inferred, not seen. The sun would stand still in the sky, the moon be almost free from change, and so on. But now reverse the hypothesis and suppose a being to get only one 1000th part of the sensations that we get ina given time, and consequently live 1000 times as long. Winters and summers will be to him like quarters of an hour. Mushromms and the swifter-growing plants will shoot into being so rapidly as to appear instantaneous creations; annual shrubs will rise and fall from the earth like restlessly boing-ing water springs; the motions of animals will be as invisible as are to us the movements of bulllets and cannon-balls; the sun will scour through the sky like a meteor, leaving a fiery trail behind him, etc.
