“TWO THINGS FILL THE MIND WITH EVER NEW AND INCREASING ADMIRATION AND AWE, THE MORE OFTEN AND STEADILY WE REFLECT UPON THEM: THE STARRY HEAVENS ABOVE ME AND THE MORAL LAW WITHIN ME. I DO NOT SEEK OR CONJECTURE EITHER OF THEM AS IF THEY WERE VEILED OBSCURITIES OR EXTRAVAGANCES BEYOND THE HORIZON OF MY VISION; I SEE THEM BEFORE ME AND CONNECT THEM IMMEDIATELY WITH THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF MY EXISTENCE. THE FORMER BEGINS FROM THE PLACE I OCCUPY IN THE EXTERNAL WORLD OF SENSE, AND ENLARGES MY CONNECTION THEREIN TO AN UNBOUNDED EXTENT WITH WORLDS UPON WORLDS AND SYSTEMS OF SYSTEMS, AND MOREOVER INTO LIMITLESS TIMES OF THEIR PERIODIC MOTION, ITS BEGINNING AND CONTINUANCE. THE SECOND BEGINS FROM MY INVISIBLE SELF, MY PERSONALITY, AND EXHIBITS ME IN A WORLD WHICH HAS TRUE INFINITY, BUT WHICH IS TRACEABLE ONLY BY THE UNDERSTANDING, AND WITH WHICH I DISCERN THAT I AM NOT IN A MERELY CONTINGENT BUT IN A UNIVERSAL AND NECESSARY CONNECTION.”
