Substance is enduring, form is ephemeral.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Preserve substance; modify form; know the difference.
I maintain also that substances, whether material or immaterial, cannot be conceived in their bare essence without any activity, activity being of the essence of substance in general.
Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time.

It's hard to prove yourself when the substance isn't there in certain roles.
Once music ceases to be ephemeral - always disappearing - and becomes instead material... it leaves the condition of traditional music and enters the condition of painting. It becomes a painting, existing as material in space, not immaterial in time.
Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.
Transient bodies are only subject to destruction through their substance and not through their form, nor can the essence of their form be destroyed; in this respect, they are permanent.
