tractatus 4

Fancy lies below Custom. Any given custom may be unjust or impious, but always another custom, a preceding or foreign custom, balances the scale. The corruption of a monarch is resolved in his progeny. The winter of a kingdom gives way to its spring. Fancy belongs to the sordid individual, the corrupt monarch of one's own life, the base and disarrayed mind. The individual, if you will, is the Fancy engine. The lion may be known by its claw, but the individual's station may not be known without the entirety. To this end, the Divinity in Man, which shall be called the Beloved's Providence, governs the individual.
