The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
29
Besides,
we
shall
want
Imployments
for
our
Senses,
and
Subjects
for
Arguments;
for,
were
there
nothing
but
truth,
and
no
falshood,
there
would
be
no
occasion
to
dispute,
and
by
this
means
we
should
want
the
aim
and
pleasure
of
our
endeavors
in
confuting
and
contradicting
each
other;
neither
would
one
man
be
thought
wiser
then
another,
but
all
would
either
be
alike
knowing
and
wise,
or
all
would
be
fools;
wherefore
we
most
humbly
beseech
your
Imperial
Majesty
to
spare
our
Glasses,
which
are
our
onely
delight,
and
as
dear
to
us
as
our
lives.
The
Empress
at
last
consented
to
their
request,
but
upon
condition,
that
their
disputes
and
quarrels
should
remain
within
their
Schools,
and
cause
no
factions
or
disturbances
in
State,
or
Government.
The
Bear-men,
full
of
joy,
returned
their
most
humble
thanks
to
the
Empress;
and
to
make
her
amends
for
the
displeasure
which
their
Telescopes
had
occasioned,
told
her
Majesty,
that
they
had
several
other
artificial
Optick-Glasses,
which
they
were
sure
would
give
her
Majesty
a
great
deal
more
satisfaction.
Amongst
the
rest,
they
brought
forth
several
Microscopes,
by
the
means
of
which
they
could
enlarge
the
shapes
of
little
bodies,
and
make
a
Lowse
appear
as
big
as
an
Elephant,
and
a
Mite
as
big
as
a
Whale.
