"A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matt..." - Aristotle

“

A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
