But other questions come upon us. What is a man’s eye but a machine for the little creature that sits behind in his brain to look through?… Is it man’s eyes, or is it the big seeing engine which has revealed to us the existence of worlds beyond worlds into infinity?… Or again is it the eye or the little see-engine which has shown us the existence of infinitely minute organisms which swarm unsuspected around us?
~Samuel Butler
