Forms, opens, and gives scent to every flower;
Spreads the fresh verdure of the field, and leads
The dancing Naiads through the dewy meads.

Something exists within the object that can never be appropriated. This little part, I try to make it visible.

Nature, exerting an unwearied power,

The dancing Naiads through the dewy meads.
