"If we substitute mechanics for magic as the operative force used by the Creator, Dee's religion was perhaps not altogether unlike that of Isaac Newton."--Theatre of the World (1969) by Frances Yates "When people in the early seventeenth century talk of 'machines' they usually mean theatrical machines, and this was the sphere in which (or so I would suggest) state funds were first applied on a large scale to the development of machinery for peaceful uses."--Theatre of the World (1969) by Frances Yates |
