But the surface of the Earth was meant for man. He wasn't meant to live in a hole in the ground.
To touch the surface is to stir the depths.
Bodies are real entities. Surfaces and lines are but fictitious entities. A surface without depth, a line without thickness, was never seen by any man; no; nor can any conception be seriously formed of its existence.

Lines parallel to the horizon give breadth. . . lines perpendicular to this horizon give depth. But nature for us men is more depth than surface, whence the need to introduce into our light vibrations, represented by the reds and yellows, a sufficient amount of blueness to give the feel of air.
