Now nature is not at variance with art, nor art with nature; they
being both the servants of his providence. Art is the perfection
of nature. Were the world now as it was the sixth day, there
were yet a chaos. Nature hath made one world, and art another.
In brief, all things are artificial; for nature is the art of
God.
Sir Thomas Browne

It is the glory and good of Art,
That Art remains the one way possible
Of speaking truth, to mouths like mine at least.

master; thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild.

Si che vostr'arte a Dio quasi e nipote.]
