The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
97
Then
she
intended
to
create
a
World
according
to
the
opinion
of
Plato;
but
she
found
more
trouble
and
difficulty
in
that,
then
in
the
two
former;
for
the
numerous
Idea's
having
no
other
motion
but
what
was
derived
from
her
mind,
whence
they
did
flow
and
issue
out,
made
it
a
far
harder
business
to
her,
to
impart
motion
to
them,
then
Puppit-players
have
in
giving
motion
to
every
several
Puppit;
in
so
much,
that
her
patience
was
not
able
to
endure
the
trouble
which
those
Ideas
caused
her;
wherefore
she
annihilated
also
that
World,
and
was
resolved
to
make
one
according
to
the
Opinion
of
Epicurus;
which
she
had
no
sooner
begun,
but
the
infinite
Atoms
made
such
a
mist,
that
it
quite
blinded
the
perception
of
her
mind;
neither
was
she
able
to
make
a
Vacuum
as
a
receptacle
for
those
Atoms,
or
a
place
which
they
might
retire
into;
so
that
partly
for
the
want
of
it,
and
of
a
good
order
and
method,
the
confusion
of
those
Atoms
produced
such
strange
and
monstrous
figures,
as
did
more
affright
then
delight
her,
and
caused
such
a
Chaos
in
her
mind,
as
had
almost
dissolved
it.
