This reminds me of a quote I saw
in "Galaxies" by Dr. Timothy Ferris:

" He showed me a little thing, the quantity of a hazel-nut,
in the palm of my hand and it was as round as a ball. I
looked thereupon with the eye of my understanding and
thought: What may this be? And it was answered
generally thus: It is all that is made."
