The eye is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end.
Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning.
There are no fixtures in nature. The universe is fluid and volatile. Permanence is but a word of degrees.
Every ultimate fact is only the first of a new series. Every general law only a particular fact of some more general law presently to disclose itself.
