"The completeness of nature displays itself to another sense in a similar way. Let the eye be closed, let the sense of hearing be excited, and from the lightest breath to the wildest din, from the simplest sound to the highest harmony, from the most vehement and impassioned cry to the gentlest word of reason, still it is Nature that speaks and manifests her presence, her power, her pervading life and vastness of her relations; so that a blind man to whom the infinite visible is denied, can still comprehend an infinite vitality by means of another organ. And thus as we descend the scale of being, Nature speaks to other senses - to known, misunderstood, and unknown senses: so speaks she with herself and to us in a thousand modes." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
