"We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles.

Meantime within us 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 beatitude 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."

​

The Over-Soul – Ralph Waldo Emerson
