448 My Soul! if I realize you, I have satisfaction, Animals and vegetables! if I realize you, I have
 * satisfaction,

Laws of the earth and air! if I realize you, I have
 * satisfaction.

I cannot define my satisfaction, yet it is so, I cannot define my life, yet it is so.

O it comes to me now! I swear I think now that everything without
 * exception has an eternal Soul!

The trees have, rooted in the ground! the weeds of
 * the sea have! the animals!

I swear I think there is nothing but immortality! That the exquisite scheme is for it, and the nebulous
 * float is for it, and the cohering is for it!

And all preparation is for it! and identity is for it!
 * and life and death are altogether for it!
