    "Ihr naht euch wieder schwankende Gestalten,
    Die frueh sich einst dem trueben Blick gezeigt."

    GOETHE.

"Diese Kinder der Natur, welche aus einer ungeformten Gallert, und einem
unsichtbaren Saamen entstehen, sind im stande, in dem sie sich nach und
nach entwickeln und ihre scheinbar nachlaessige Bildung genau beobachten
(lassen), eben so sehr als die schoenste Pflanze, einem empfindenden
Herzen die tiefe Achtung und das paradiesische Vernuegen zu verschaffen,
welches einzig die Betrachtung der Heere der Natur und ihre
gleichbleibende Erhaltung durch eine ewige Kraft hervorbringen kann."

A. J. G. C. BATSCH 1783.
