Abstract
My title may suggest a scope too great to be modestly proposed for a brief paper, and I must begin by defining the limits of the inquiry. "Vision" is a name, it its higher use, for the contact through the senses of finite human higher use, for the contact through the senses of finite human nature with the infinite, and to ask what Vision is might be asking to "known what god and man is." To ask that question, however, is what man is for; and to gain some morsel of that truth shall be the purpose of this inquiry, which will place side by side two stories, recorded one in sacred, the other in secular literature, or visions of the supernatural world, and endeavour to extract from the comparison some element of fact as to the relations of divine and human.
