Perfection of Nature
Genesis 1:31
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.


I have seen the back of a splendid painting, and there, on the dusty canvas, were blotches and daubs of colour — the experiments of the painter's brush. There is nothing answering to that in the works of God! I have seen the end of a piece of costly velvet; and though man had in it fairly imitated the bloom of the fruit and the velvet of the flowers, there was a common, unwrought, worthless selvage — a coarse, unsightly selvage. There is no selvage in the works of God!

(H. Wonnacott.)
