When the colour or smell of some sour fruit, whose association with that taste has been apprehended, is apprehended by a certain sense organ, an alteration of the gustatory organ—another sense organ—is observed, brought about by craving for the taste upon the recollection of the taste, consisting of a flow of saliva to the teeth. That would be untenable if consciousness belonged to the sense organ, [for] one does not remember what was seen by another.
