We can no longer separate things as we once could: everything tends
towards unity; one thing, one action, in one place, at one time. On the
other hand, we can no longer unify things as we once could; we are driven
to ultimate atoms, each one of which is an individuality. So that we
have an infinite multitude of things doing an infinite multitude of
actions in infinite time and space; and yet they are not many things, but
one thing.
