_New Zealand_, chap. vi; cf., for Polynesia, W. Ellis,
_Polynesian Researches_, chap. xiii. The abstract ideas
reported by Taylor are remarkable: from conception came
increase, from this came swelling, then, in order, thought,
remembrance, desire; or, from nothing came increase and so
forth; or, the word brought forth night, the night ending in
death. The significance of this scheme (supposing it to be
correctly stated) has not been explained. The role assigned
to "desire" in the Rig-Veda creation-hymn (x, 129) is the
product of learned reflection (cf. Schopenhauer's "blind
will"), and sounds strange in the mouth of New Zealand
savages.
