All nature is but art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction, which thou canst not see;
All discord, harmony not understood;
All partial evil, universal good:
And, spite of pride in erring reason’s spite,
One truth is clear, whatever is, is right.

— Pope, Essay On Man

— "Before we begin, I shall briefly recount the circumstances which led me to write this work."

Word and image are correlatives which are always in quest of one another, as metaphors and comparisons show us clearly enough. Thus, from of old, what is inwardly said or sung for the ear is at the same time intended for the eye. And so in ages which seem to us childlike, we see in codes of law and salvational doctrine, in bible and in primer, a continual balance of word and image. If they put into words what did not go into images, or formed an image of what could not be put into words, that was quite proper; but people often went wrong about this and used the spoken word instead of the pictorial image, which was the origin of those doubly wicked symbolically mystical monsters.

— Goethe, 'Own and Adopted Ideas in Proverbial Formulation'

Okay wow highscore.
Those two examples you quoted are some of my ‘darlings’, as it were. Those I felt proud of. Criticism of the arcus tides bit has come up ITT so that advice is money in the bank.

The last part you mentioned, birds and vines, is actually referring to the next part in the m/s, the very next part that completed the prologue. Without the next part that last sentence doesn’t make sense you are correct:

>As it is quite impossible to prevent this conflict of reason with itself-so long as the objects of the sensible world are taken for things in themselves, and not for mere appearances, which they are in fact-the reader is thereby compelled to examine over again the deduction of all our a priori cognition and the proof which I have given of my deduction in order to come to a decision on the question. This is all I require at present; for when in this occupation he shall have thought himself deep enough into the nature of pure reason, those concepts by which alone the solution of the conflict of reason is possible, will become sufficiently familiar to him. Without this preparation I cannot expect an unreserved assent even from the most attentive reader.
