"[T]he elliptical motion was not merely the sum of the different observations... other persons, and Kepler himself before his discovery, did not find it by adding together the observations. ...it was the sum of the observations, seen under a new point of view, which point of view Kepler's mind supplied. Kepler found it in the facts, because it was there... but also... because he had in his mind those relations of thought which enabled him to find it. ...We too find the law in Kepler's book; but if we did not understand Latin, we should not find it there. ...In like manner, a discoverer must know the language of science, as well as look at the book of nature, in order to find scientific truth. All the discussions and controversies respecting Ideas and Conceptions of which I have spoken, may be looked upon as discussions and controversies respecting the grammar of the language in which nature speaks to the scientific mind. Man is the Interpreter of Nature; not the Spectator merely, but the Interpreter. The study of the language, as well as the mere sight of the characters, is requisite in order that we may read the inscriptions which are written on the face of the world."
