Never confuse movement with action.
Are you a new strength and a new right? A first motion? A self-rolling wheel? Can you even compel the stars to revolve around you?
Every movement takes time and is for the sake of an end.
The least movement affects all nature; the entire sea changes because of a rock.
Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.
Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Spirit borrows from matter the perceptions on which it feeds and restores them to matter in the form of movements which it has stamped with its own freedom.
