"MICROCOSMOS" "A meadow in early morning somewhere on earth." "Hidden here is the world as wast as our own where the weeds are like inpenetrable jungles, stones are mountains, and even the smallest pond becomes an ocean" "Time passes differently here, an hour is like a day, a day is like a season, and the passing of a season is a lifetime." "But to observe this world we must fall silent now and listen to its murmurs."
