"World creation. One of the amazing creations of human ingenuity is the cogwheel: that one wheel drives three, ten, fifteen, and all drive each other. Nature, life, the world are all such cogs. Only it is not three, not ten, not fifteen, but an infinite series, an infinite totality. Take a speck of dust, or a plant, or the water circulation of the earth, or the human blood circulation, the human heart, - whatever you look at carefully, you will find what I am saying."
