text_original: Metaphysics does nothing more than transfer to within ourselves this dominant notion of the infinite. And is not the conception of the ideal merely a faculty reflected from the infinite, which leads us, when in the presence of beauty, to conceive of a still higher form of beauty? Are science and the passionate desire to under  stand anything else than the effect of that spur towards knowledge which the mystery of the universe has placed in our souls?
