homage

Nature, by Emerson
(Auto-generated)

Literature, poetry, science, are the homage of man to this unfathomed secret, concerning which no sane man can affect an indifference or incuriosity.†
*

homage = respect or loyalty
But taking timely warning, and leaving many things unsaid on this topic, but not longer omit our homage to the Efficient Nature, natura naturans, the quick cause, before which all forms flee as the driven snows, itself secret, its works driven before it in flocks and multitudes, (as the ancient represented nature by Proteus,[500] a shepherd), and in undescribable variety.†

Definitions:

(1) (homage)
a show of deep respect or admiration for someone or something -- often through a gesture, artwork, or tribute
(2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)
