Axiomatic

If the grace of an infinite substance bestows,
On numerous modes, the gift of being
Self-caused and self-conceived
(But only in itself) and for themselves, these modes
Are left to modulate and mime their own
Modality -- which must belong to them,
And to which, necessarily, they must belong,
Always in the scope of their conceiving
And always as conceiving in their scope.
