But the reality is, every truth we manage to know is altered, deformed by our very "encheiresis naturae," by the act of our taking-in-hand of nature (to borrow the alchemists' phrase from Goethe's Faust). — Kenny Smith
There was only silence. It was the silence of matter caught in the act and embarrassed. There were no cells moving, and yet there were cells.
