“Our means of receiving impressions are absurdly few, and our notions of surrounding objects infinitely narrow. We see things only as we are constructed to see them, and can gain no idea of their absolute nature. With five feeble senses we pretend to comprehend the boundlessly complex cosmos.” MeanIdeasFiveObjectsGainsAbsolutesComplexesNotionSensesImpressionNo IdeaCosmosReceiving Book:Lovecraft's Works Source: Lovecraft's Works

“The whole story of the universe is implicit in any part of it. The meditative eye can look through any single object and see, as through a window, the entire cosmos. Make the smell of roast duck in an old kitchen diaphanous and you will have a glimpse of everything, from the spiral nebulae to Mozart's music and the stigmata of St. Francis of Assisi. The artistic problem is to produce diaphanousness in spots, selecting the spots so as to reveal only the most humanly significant of distant vistas behind the near familiar object.” LooksArtWholeStoriesProblemEyeArtistUniverseBehindsObjectsProducePerceptionWindowSmellSignificantFamiliarSpotsArtisticKitchenCosmosDucksGlimpseSpiralsImplicitVistasSt Francis Of Assisi Author:Aldous Huxley
