Présentation de l'éditeur
Exact discovery, like the projection of a map or chart and the figures in a picture, needs its un defined background. The atoms that combine in defi nite proportions, the imponderables of light and heat, which Goethe said change bleak and brown winter to the green and blooming landscape, proceed from and refer to somewhat immense. We can define a proposition, but not that germinal ocean of life from which Agassiz thought come all animal and vegetable forms. Definition is limitation within measures of weight, space, and time; but how much cannot be put in pound or notched on any scale! Definition is discrimination; but are we not able to contemplate the whole? Yes, if universe be a lawful word.
