we live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty to which every part and particle is equally related, the eternal ONE. and this deep power in which we exist and whose quietude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one. we see the world piece by piece, ,as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are shining parts, is the soul.
– ralph waldo emerson, from the over soul
