The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
44
Yes,
answered
they:
for
the
several
parts
of
the
Earth
do
join
and
assist
each
other
in
composition
or
framing
of
such
or
such
particulars;
and
many
times,
there
are
factions
and
divisions;
which
cause
productions
of
mixt
Species;
as,
for
example,
weeds,
instead
of
sweet
flowres
and
useful
fruits;
but
Gardeners
and
Husbandmen
use
often
to
decide
their
quarrels,
and
cause
them
to
agree;
which
though
it
shews
a
kindness
to
the
differing
parties,
yet
'tis
a
great
prejudice
to
the
Worms,
and
other
Animal-Creatures
that
live
under
ground;
for
it
most
commonly
causes
their
dissolution
and
ruine,
at
best
they
are
driven
out
of
their
habitations.
What,
said
the
Empress,
are
not
Worms
produced
out
of
the
Earth?
Their
production
in
general,
answered
they,
is
like
the
production
of
all
other
Natural
Creatures,
proceeding
from
the
corporeal
figurative
motions
of
Nature;
but
as
for
their
particular
productions,
they
are
according
to
the
nature
of
their
Species;
some
are
produced
out
of
flowers,
some
out
of
roots,
some
out
of
fruits,
some
out
of
ordinary
Earth.
Then
they
are
very
ungrateful
Children,
replied
the
Empress,
that
they
feed
on
their
own
Parents
which
gave
them
life.
Their
life,
answered
they,
is
their
own,
and
not
their
Parents;
for
no
part
or
creature
of
Nature
can
either
give
or
take
away
life;
but
parts
do
onely
assist
and
join
with
parts,
either
in
dissolution
or
production
of
other
Parts
and
Creatures.
