As the architect has
in his mind a plan
of the house before
the house is built,
so God has in His Mind
an archetypal idea
of every flower,
tree, springtime,
bird and melody.
There never was a brush
touched to canvas
or a chisel to marble
without some great
pre-existing idea.
So, too, every atom
and every rose is
a realization
and concretion
of an idea existing
in the mind of God
from all eternity.
