Jeffers quote

         Or as mathematics, a human invention
That parallels but never touches reality, gives the astronomer
Metaphors through which he may comprehend
The powers and the flow of things:  so the human sense
Of beauty is our metaphor of their excellence, their divine
       nature: ----like dust in a whirlwind, making
The wild wind visible.
