Change and Arrogance ...There are certain things which are bound to certain times, within which they turn round in a certain order, and which undergo transformations as long as there is a possibility of their existing. If they, now, are not observed as long as they are in existence, people think them to be improbable, and hasten to reject them as altogether impossible. This applies to all cyclical occurances, such as the mutual impregnation of animals and trees and the forthcoming of the seeds and their fruits. For, if it were possible that men did not know these occurences, and then then they were led to a tree, stripped of its leaves, and were told what occurs to the tree of getting green, of producing blossoms and fruits, etc., they would certainly think it improbable, till they saw it with their own eyes. Further, there are other things occurring at times in which no cyclical order is apparent, and which seem to happen at random. If, then, the time in which the thing occurred has gone by, nothing remains of it except the report about it.
