Full Idea
Monotony is the most beautiful or the most atrocious thing. The most beautiful if it is the reflection of eternity - the most atrocious if it is the sign of an unvarying perpetuity. It is time passed or time sterilised.

A Reaction
I'm afraid I can see not attraction at all in the contemplation of eternity (or the infinities of outer space). I think there are more positive accounts to be given of a localised monotony.
