Note 160 — Chapter IV · THE INFANTILE RECURRENCE OF TOTEMISM
A. A. (Abraham Arden) Brill translation
There is nothing vague or mystical about it, nothing of that metaphysical haze which some writers love to conjure up over the humblest beginnings of human speculation but which is utterly foreign to the simple, sensuous, and concrete modes of the savage. (Totemism and Exogamy, I., p. 117.)
