- Alexander Pope

About this Quote

This quote by Alexander Pope speaks to the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. He recommends that Nature is the physical body of deep space, while God is its soul. This implies that all living things, from the tiniest microbe to the biggest mammal, are part of a single, unified whole. This idea of unity is more enhanced by the use of the word "stupendous", which recommends something of immense size and magnificence. Pope is recommending that the universe is a vast and intricate system, which all of its parts are linked in some method. He is likewise suggesting that God is the source of life and the supreme developer of deep space. This quote is a tip that we are all part of something much larger than ourselves, which we ought to make every effort to appreciate and respect the interconnectedness of all life.
