“The earth brought forth grass, and yielded fruit,” in obedience to Intelligence, and not matter; even as a picture is produced by the artist. The idea of creative Wisdom and Love was given its identity; but it was mind, first and last. The grass and tree grew from out the infinite thought that embraced, and expressed them. The artist transfers a landscape from Soul, to sense; but its only immortality is in the Intelligence that forms it. (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1st ed., p.231)
