the appearance of the idea of the universe...

"it is the things close at hand that give the idea of the universe as the human eye sees it, a universe which can be undulated concave or convex..."

pierre bonnard

time and the universe...

"our time on earth is only a small part of the workings of the universe. in a minute or so we forget our sorrows, even the most painful, as in minutes the ocean forgets its storms, and for the universe, days and weeks are only seconds"
hans christian andersen, travels
