The
eye is a magnificent thing. In form and function it could scarcely have been
better designed. It is almost perfect in it'sbeauty, elegance, simplicity of style, and
extraordinary usefulness. Only God could have designed the eye, one is tempted
to say. The orbit, however, is quite another matter. The orbit was put together
from apparently random bits of seven different bones which were strectched,
obtruded, pinched, rounded, flattened and squeezed together to form a recipient
that will, very roughly, allow the eye to sit in it. The orbit, like most of
the skull, in fact, is a complete bloody mess.
I offer this reflection for what it's worth.
