But the tiny seed sown in the ground, springing up into root-leaf, stalk, rough leaf, flower, seed, which will again be sown and spring up into leaf, flower, and seed; -- in that perpetual miracle, people see no miracle: just because it is according to order: because it comes to pass by regular and natural laws.
