Thus allow your thought to go outside this world, for a short time,
to come to see a completely new world that I shall bring to life before
you in imaginary spaces. The philosophers tell us that these spaces are
infinite; they should be believed in this case, because they themselves
invented them. But lest this infinity impede and burden us, let us not
try to go to its limits; let us only go far enough so that we can lose
sight of all the creatures that God created five or six thousand years
ago. And when we have come to a stop there, in some determinate
place, let us suppose that God creates anew all around us so much
matter that, in whatever direction our imagination may be able to
stretch, it would no longer perceive any place in it that is empty.
