astronomy；　is　vast　space；　but　no　foreign　system；　in　geology；　vast

time；　but　the　same　laws　as　to…day。　　Why　should　we　be　afraid　of

Nature；　which　is　no　other　than　〃philosophy　and　theology　embodied〃？

Why　should　we　fear　to　be　crushed　by　savage　elements；　we　who　are　made

up　of　the　same　elements？　　Let　us　build　to　the　Beautiful　Necessity；

which　makes　man　brave　in　believing　that　he　cannot　shun　a　danger　that

is　appointed；　nor　incur　one　that　is　not；　to　the　Necessity　which

rudely　or　softly　educates　him　to　the　perception　that　there　are　no

contingencies；　that　Law　rules　throughout　existence；　a　Law　which　is

not　intelligent　but　intelligence；　　not　personal　nor　impersonal；　

it　disdains　words　and　passes　understanding；　it　dissolves　persons；　it

vivifies　nature；　yet　solicits　the　pure　in　heart　to　draw　on　all　its

omnipotence。
