CLXXXIV - paradigmatic beauty

Each one of us is, at the same time, a human soul, not less by one part in any part than any other human in the whole of any intelligible account of history (think then of how much we are obliged to one another!), and, an amalgamation of billions and billions of atoms and molecules, each obedient, precocious little block sitting next to each other in just the right configuration, each asserting its own identity and peculiarity, in accordance with the foremost laws of the natural world (think then of how much we are obliged to nature!).

Imagine that; how beautiful is that? What is beauty, if not that!
