Above all we must remember that nothing that exists or comes into being, lasts or passes, can be thought of as entirely isolated, entirely unadulterated. One thing is always permeated, accompanied, covered, or enveloped by another; it produces effects and endures them. And when so many things work through one another, where are we to find the insight and discover what governs and what serves, what leads the way and what follows? (Goethe 1825) (1) (1) Goethe, J.
