_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
