I am inclined to suggest to you to put the expression of our
experience instead of the experience.
“But these two aren't the same.”
This is certainly true, at least in the sense in which it is true to
say that a railway train and a railway accident aren't the same
thing.
And yet there is a justification for talking as though the
expression, “the gesture ‘long, long
ago’” and the expression, “the feeling
‘long, long ago’” had the same
meaning.
Thus I could give the rules of chess in the following way: I have
a chess board before me with a set of chess men on it.
I give rules for moving these particular chess men (these
particular pieces of wood) on this particular board.
Can these rules be the rules of the game of chess?
They can be converted into them by the usage of a single

operator, such as the word
“any”.
Or, the rules for my particular set may stand as they are and be
made into rules of the game of chess by changing our standpoint towards
them.
