“Word of gloom from the war, one day;
Johnston pressed at the front, they say.
Little Giffen was up and away;
A tearhis firstas he bade good-by,
Dimmed the glint of his steel-blue eye.

“In ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes. Sensations are the items of consciousnessa color, a weight, a texturethat we tend to think of as simple and single. Perceptions are complex affairs that embrace sensation together with other, associated or revived contents of the mind, including emotions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
