[T]hro this Air, this Ocean, and this Earth, All Nature quick, and bursting into birth. Above, how high progressive life may go? Around how wide? how deep extend below? Vast Chain of Being! which from God began, Ethereal Essence, Spirit, Substance, Man, Beast, Bird, Fish, Insect! what no Eye can see, No Glass can reach! from Infinite to Thee! From Thee to Nothing. . . . From Natures Chain whatever Link you strike, Tenth, or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike. . . . All are but parts of one stupendous Whole: Whose Body Nature is, and God the Soul.
