On Nature as Power

“Power is a capacity that is superior to great obstacles. The same thing is called dominion if it is also superior to the resistance of something that itself possesses power. Nature considered in aesthetic judgement as a power that has no dominion over us is dynamically sublime.” – Immanuel Kant (1724-1804).
 
Resisting evil
We find ourselves
no match
for it. And
Fear rises
like bubbles of nitrogen
Shimmering in imagination.
By nature sublime
The mind quakes.
