The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
41
We
most
humbly
beg
your
Majesties
pardon,
replied
they;
for
we
could
not
chuse
but
laugh,
when
we
heard
of
a
colourless
Body.
Why,
said
the
Empress,
Colour
is
onely
an
accident,
which
is
an
immaterial
thing,
and
has
no
being
of
it
self,
but
in
another
body.
Those,
replied
they,
that
informed
your
Majesty
thus,
surely
their
rational
motions
were
very
irregular;
For
how
is
it
possible,
that
a
Natural
nothing
can
have
a
being
in
Nature?
If
it
be
no
substance,
it
cannot
have
a
being,
and
if
no
being,
it
is
nothing;
Wherefore
the
distinction
between
subsisting
of
it
self,
and
subsisting
in
another
body,
is
a
meer
nicety,
and
non-sense,
for
there
is
nothing
in
Nature
that
can
subsist
of,
or
by
it
self,
(I
mean
singly)
by
reason
all
parts
of
Nature
are
composed
in
one
body,
and
though
they
may
be
infinitely
divided,
commixed,
and
changed
in
their
particular,
yet
in
general,
parts
cannot
be
separated
from
parts
as
long
as
Nature
lasts;
nay,
we
might
as
probably
affirm,
that
Infinite
Nature
would
be
as
soon
destroyed,
as
that
one
Atom
could
perish;
and
therefore
your
Majesty
may
firmly
believe,
that
there
is
no
Body
without
colour,
nor
no
Colour
without
body;
for
colour,
figure,
place,
magnitude,
and
body,
are
all
but
one
thing,
without
any
separation
or
abstraction
from
each
other.
