this is a very vague memory but it would be so helpful to have it identified.
i am trying to locate a passage in which the way people know and relate to each other is compared to the encounter of two strangers on horseback on a misty night. the mist/horses' breath represents the mind of each individual, which interacts with other minds in the same way that the mist mingles in the cold air.
as far as i can remember, the quotation might be either thomas browne or lawrence sterne (not very similar i know).
thanks for any ideas!
