问题 Imagination
   The decay of sense in men waking is not the decay of the motion made in sense, but an obscuring of it in such manner as the light of the sun obscure the light of the stars, which stars do no less exercise their virtue, by which they are【C1】______ , in the day than in the night. But because amongst many 【C2】______ which our eyes, ears, and other organs, receive from【C3】______ bodies, the predominant only is sensible; therefore, the light of the sun【C4】______ predominant, we are not affected with the【C5】______ of the stars. And any object being removed from our eyes, though the【C6】______ it made in us remain, yet other objects more【C7】______ succeeding and working on us, the imagination of the past is【C8】______ and made weak, as the voice of a man is in the【C9】______ of the day. From whence it follow that the longer the time is, after the【C10】______ or sense of any object, the weaker is the 【C11】______. For the continual change of man’s body【C12】______ in time the parts which in sense were moved; so that【C13】______ of time, and of place, hath one and the same【C14】______ in us. For as at a great distance of place that which we 【C15】______ appears dim and without distinction of the 【C16】______ parts, and as voices grow weak and inarticulate, so also after great distance【C17】______ our imagination of the past is weak; and we【C18】______ , for example, of cities we have seen many particular streets, and of【C19】______ of many particular circumstances. This "decaying sense" , when we would【C20】______ the thing itself, I mean "fancy" itself, we call "imagination", as I said before; but when we would express the decay, and signify that the sense is fading, old, and past, it is called "memory". So that imagination and memory are but one thing, which for divers considerations hath divers names. [br] 【C8】
