ÉCOSYSTÈME
Contenu éducatif en ligne.
La Nature, dans le sens courant, désigne les essences inchangées par l’homme ; l’espace, l’air, le fleuve, la feuille. L’Art s’applique au mélange de sa volonté avec les mêmes choses, comme dans une maison, un canal, une statue, un tableau. Mais ses opérations prises ensemble sont si insignifiantes, un peu d’écaillage, de cuisson, de rapiéçage, de lavage, que dans une impression aussi grandiose que celle du monde sur l’esprit humain, elles ne changent pas le résultat.
Sans doute n’avons-nous pas de questions à poser qui soient sans réponse. Nous devons faire confiance à la perfection de la création au point de croire que, quelle que soit la curiosité que l’ordre des choses a éveillée dans notre esprit, l’ordre des choses peut la satisfaire. La condition de chaque homme est une solution en hiéroglyphes aux questions qu’il poserait.
ECOSYSTEM
Positive growth.
Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man; space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture. But his operations taken together are so insignificant, a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing, that in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind, they do not vary the result.
Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
