'A razor looks worse. It is all kinds of shapes, except what it should be,' Hooke said. 'That is why I never use the Microscope any more to look at things that were made by men – the rudeness and bungling of Art is painful to view. And yet things that one would expect to look disgusting become beautiful when magnified – you may look at my drawings while I satisfy the King's curiosity.' Hooke gestured to a stack of papers, then carried a sample ant-egg over to the microscope as Daniel began to page through them.
