    comprehensive system of laws, commensurate to every purpose
    within its scope, but concealed from the eye of the spectator;
    and in the production of effects that seem to flow forth
    spontaneously, as though uncontrolled by their influence, and

So in Art's wide kingdom ranges
One sole meaning still the same:
This is Truth, eternal Reason,
Which from Beauty takes its dress,
And serene through time and season
Stands aye in loveliness.
