Zoonomia

Principiò cœlum, ac terras, camposque liquentes,Lucentemque globum lunæ, titaniaque astra,Spiritus intùs alit, totamque infusa per artusMens agitat molem, et magno se corpore miscet.—Virg. Æn. vi.

Earth, on whose lap a thousand nations tread,And Ocean, brooding his prolific bed,Night's changeful orb, blue pole, and silvery zones,Where other worlds encircle other suns,One Mind inhabits, one diffusive SoulWields the large limbs, and mingles with the whole.
