The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
95
Yes,
answered
the
Spirits;
for
every
human
Creature
can
create
an
Immaterial
World
fully
inhabited
by
Immaterial
Creatures,
and
populous
of
Immaterial
subjects,
such
as
we
are,
and
all
this
within
the
compass
of
the
head
or
scull;
nay,
not
onely
so,
but
he
may
create
a
World
of
what
fashion
and
Government
he
will,
and
give
the
Creatures
thereof
such
motions,
figures,
forms,
colours,
perceptions,
&c.
as
he
pleases,
and
make
Whirl-pools,
Lights,
Pressures,
and
Reactions,
&c.
as
he
thinks
best;
nay,
he
may
make
a
World
full
of
Veins,
Muscles,
and
Nerves,
and
all
these
to
move
by
one
jolt
or
stroke:
also
he
may
alter
that
World
as
often
as
he
pleases,
or
change
it
from
a
Natural
World,
to
an
Artificial;
he
may
make
a
World
of
Ideas,
a
World
of
Atoms,
a
World
of
Lights,
or
whatsoever
his
Fancy
leads
him
to.
And
since
it
is
in
your
power
to
create
such
a
World,
What
need
you
to
venture
life,
reputation
and
tranquility,
to
conquer
a
gross
material
World?
For
you
can
enjoy
no
more
of
a
material
world
then
a
particular
Creature
is
able
to
enjoy,
which
is
but
a
small
part,
considering
the
compass
of
such
a
world;
and
you
may
plainly
observe
it
by
your
friend
the
Empress
here,
which
although
she
possesses
a
whole
World,
yet
enjoys
she
but
a
part
thereof;
neither
is
she
so
much
acquainted
with
it,
that
she
know
all
the
places,
Countries,
and
Dominions
she
Governs.
