(Can we find and add a quotation of Jeremy Taylor to this entry?)
- 1985, Lawrence Durrell, Quinx, Faber & Faber 2004 (Avignon Quintet), p. 1260:
  Yes, to savour to the full the sheer inherence of things, so pure and gentle is it; if you get still enough you can hear the grass growing.

Not to be confused with inherency.
