German term

Die ganze Natur ist eine Melodie, in der eine tiefe Harmonie verborgen ist

German to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Goethe quotation
"Die ganze Natur ist eine Melodie, in der eine tiefe Harmonie verborgen ist."

Quotation from Wolgang von Goethe.

Does anyone know if there is a "received" translation of this quote? The usual quotes sites I've tried haven't borne any fruit....

Many thanks

Peer comment(s):

neutral Ken Cox : I'm not terribly happy with the second part of the translation. More like 'that conceals a profound harmony'\\That's why it's neutral -- my criticism as aimed at the translation, not you.
