I readily believe that there are more invisible than visible elements in the universe of things. But who will explain the families to which these elements belong, their grades and the relationships between them and their individual features and qualities? What do they do? What are the places they inhabit?
from the Latin of Thomas Burnet’s Archaeologiae philosophicae (1692)

I take your point Hamadryad, but there are, I think, many who glimpse such presences without ever getting closer to them in the way that you, clearly, do.
