From the beginning of organic existence, conciousness has been induced, expanded , trained in the lines of his sensitiveness; and the rise of his faculties from a lower power to a higher, or from a narrower to a wider field may be due to the function of assimilating and storing outside force of forces.

"Prince Igor is an opera in four acts with a prologue. It was composed by Alexander Borodin. The composer adapted the libretto from the East Slavic epic The Lay of Igor's Host, which recounts the campaign of Russian prince Igor Svyatoslavich against the invading Polovtsian tribes in 1185. The opera was left unfinished upon the composer's death in 1887 and was edited and completed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Glazunov. It was first performed in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1890." (source: Wikipedia)
