" Are we so sure that when we truly attribute a sunset, or the
" moonlight rippling on a lake, to the chemical and physical action
" of material, forces—to the vibrations of matter and ether as we
" know them—we have exhausted the whole truth of things ? Many
" a thinker, brooding over the phenomena of Nature, has felt that
" they represent the thoughts of a dominating unknown Mind
" partially incarnate in it all."—Sir Oliver Lodge,
in "The Outline of Science."
