"The reason why we have to pry into nature in order to find out how things work is because God is playing a game of hide and seek ... 'it is for God to make secrets and it is for a king to find them out'."

"At the same time, and an age after, or more, the inhabitants of the great Atlantis did flourish."
"But the divine revenge overtook not long after those proud enterprises. For within less than the space of one hundred years, the great Atlantis was utterly lost and destroyed: not by a great earthquake, as your man saith; (for that whole tract is little subject to earthquakes;) but by a particular' deluge or inundation; those countries having, at this day, far greater rivers and far higher mountains to pour down waters, than any part of the old world. But it is true that the same inundation was not deep; not past forty foot, in most places, from the ground; so that although it destroyed man and beast generally, yet some few wild inhabitants of the wood escaped. Birds also were saved by flying to the high trees and woods. For as for men, although they had buildings in many places, higher than the depth of the water, yet that inundation, though it were shallow, had a long continuance; whereby they of the vale that were not drowned, perished for want of food and other things necessary.
"we maintain a trade not for gold, silver, or jewels; nor for silks; nor for spices;nor any other commodity of matter; but only for God's first creature, which was Light: to have light (I say) of the growth of all parts of the world."
The notion of great knowledge/wisdom residing below the surface - an Atlantis Mind - below water in a liminal space. Peering, seeking, immersed, submerged...
