The Book of the Damned

Very
easy
matter.
Samples
from
one
part
of
town.
Disregard
for
all
the
rest.
There
is
no
science
but
Wessex-science.
According
to
our
acceptance,
there
should
be
no
other,
but
that
approximation
should
be
higher:
that
metaphysics
is
super-evil:
that
the
scientific
spirit
is
of
the
cosmic
quest.
Our
notion
is
that,
in
a
real
existence,
such
a
quasi-system
of
fables
as
the
science
of
chemistry
could
not
deceive
for
a
moment:
but
that
in
an
"existence"
endeavoring
to
become
real,
it
represents
that
endeavor,
and
will
continue
to
impose
its
pseudo-positiveness
until
it
be
driven
out
by
a
higher
approximation
to
realness:
That
the
science
of
chemistry
is
as
impositive
as
fortune-telling--
Or
no--
That,
though
it
represents
a
higher
approximation
to
realness
than
does
alchemy,
for
instance,
and
so
drove
out
alchemy,
it
is
still
only
somewhere
between
myth
and
positiveness.
The
attempt
at
realness,
or
to
state
a
real
and
unmodified
fact
here,
is
the
statement:
All
red
rains
are
colored
by
sands
from
the
Sahara
Desert.
My
own
impositivist
acceptances
are:
That
some
red
rains
are
colored
by
sands
from
the
Sahara
Desert;
Some
by
sands
from
other
terrestrial
sources;
Some
by
sands
from
other
worlds,
or
from
their
deserts--also
from
aerial
regions
too
indefinite
or
amorphous
to
be
thought
of
as
"worlds"
or
planets--
That
no
supposititious
whirlwind
can
account
for
the
hundreds
of
millions
of
tons
of
matter
that
fell
upon
Australia,
Pacific
Ocean
and
Atlantic
Ocean
and
Europe
in
1902
and
1903--that
a
whirlwind
that
could
do
that
would
not
be
supposititious.
