The universe is not to be
narrowed down to the limits of our understanding... but our understanding
must be stretched and enlarged take in the image of the universe as it
is discovered.

excerpt:
"We have also sound houses,
where we practice and demonstrate all sounds and their generation.
We have harmonies which you have not, of quarter sounds and lesser slides
of sounds. Divers instruments of music likewise to you unknown, some
sweeter than any you have; together with bells and rings that are dainty
and sweet. We represent small sounds as great and deep; likewise
divers tremblings and warblings of founds, which in their original are
entire. We represent and imitate all articulate sounds and letters,
and the voices of beasts and birds. We have certain helps which set
to the ear do further the hearing greatly. We have also divers strange
and artificial echoes, reflecting the voice many times, and as it were
tossing it; and some that give back the voice louder than it came,
some shriller and some deeper; yea, some rendering the voice, differing
in the letters or articulate sound from that they receive. We have
also means to convey sounds in tubes and pipes, in strange lines and distances..."
