About this image

"At this experience, at this realization that by your power nature has been so completely 
exposed and unveiled on every side, I am thrilled by a kind of divine ecstasy and quaking awe."
[His ibi me rebus quaedam divina voluptas percipit atque horror, quod sic natura tua vi
tam manifesta patens ex omni parte retecta est.]
Lucretius, De Rerum Natura, Book III, lines 29-31.
