The Mirror - Outline of a New Theory of the Human Soul
Four or five gentlemen were debating various questions of high transcendence one evening, without the disparity of votes bringing the slightest change to their spirits. The house was on the hill of Santa Teresa, the room was small, lit by candles, whose light mysteriously merged with the moonlight coming from outside. Between the city, with its hustle and bustle and adventures, and the sky, where the stars twinkled through a clear and peaceful atmosphere, were our four or five investigators of metaphysical matters, amicably solving the most arduous problems of the universe.
