Summary

This perspective portrays nature as fundamentally finite and goal-oriented.

Oh, oh, you will be sorry for that word! Give back my book and take my kiss instead.Was it my enemy or my friend I heard,What a big book for such a little head!Come, I will show you now my newest hat,And you may watch me purse my mouth and prink!Oh, I shall love you still, and all of that.I never again shall tell you what I think.I shall be sweet and crafty, soft and sly;You will not catch me reading any more:I shall be called a wife to pattern by;And some day when you knock and push the door,Some sane day, not too bright and not too stormy,I shall be gone, and you may whistle for me.

How marvelous it all is! Built not by saints and angels, but the work of men's hands; cemented with men's honest blood and with a world of tears, welded by the best brains of centuries past; not without the taint and reproach incidental to all human work, but constructed on the whole with pure and splendid purpose. Human, and yet not wholly human -- for the most heedless and the most cynical must see the finger of the Divine.
