The exterior dissimilarities of the sciences and arts have lead to the belief that they are widely separated. 'These labors, however, differ only by variations from a common basis." So he goes beneath the surface, down into the depths of the mind as it is at work in propounding a mathematical or physical law, in conceiving a great architectural structure, in finding God.
