Microscope is... - Mites of Moths and Butterflies(1975)
시나몬 주머니/아이의 즐거움 / 2008. 3. 20. 10:26
The magic of the microscope is not that it makes little creatures larger, but that it makes a large one smaller. We are too big for our world. The microscope takes us down from our proud and lonely immensity and makes us, for a time, fellow citizens with the great majority of living things. It lets us share with them the strange and beautiful world where a meter amounts to a mile and yesterday was years ago.
