THE 



.ESTHETICS OF THE VEGETABLE WORLD. 



" The import of the Shapes, I wished 



In magisterial wise to unfold ; 

 But what I could not comprehend 

 Might not of course by me be told." 



FAUST. 



" I recognise the Man of Learning here : 

 What you touch not, lies not within your sphere ; 

 What you grasp not, does not exist for you ; 

 What you count not, most surely is not true ; 

 What you weigh not, devoid of weight you call ; 

 What you coin not, won't pass with you at all." 



FAUST.
