Excerpt from The Cause of Life and Motion About thirteen years ago, I happened to be in the office of Mr. A. E. Smith, at Melbourne, Australia, and while there, I heard a clock which was in the office, strike the chimes just previous to striking the hour. It appeared to me that the notes of the chimes were peculiarly clear and perfect, and what then seemed to me as being singular, was at with each note a flash of color appeared before my eyes. At that time I had not heard of any analogy existing between sound and color, but I, nevertheless, became convinced that, there was an analogy and communicated my ideas to a number of my acquaintances. I believe that the fact of the existence of an analogy between sound and dolor was first actually demonstrated by some English philosopher, about a year after my experience of the chimes. However that may be, my discovery made a great impression on my mind and led me into many curious speculations, that always had a bearing as to the cause of life and motion.
