All Nature bristles with the marks of interrogation-among the grass and the petals of flowers, amidst the feathers of birds and the hairs of mammals, on mountain and moorland, in sea and sky-everywhere.

Nature first, then theory. Or, better, Nature and theory closely intertwined while you throw all your intellectual capital at the subject.
