In isomeric bodies, the elements and the proportions in which they are combined are the same, only the arrangement of the atoms is different... We know, on the one hand, that the molecular arrangements of the two tartaric acids are asymmetric, and on the other hand, that these arrangements are absolutely identical, excepting that they exhibit asymmetry in opposite directions.  Are atoms of the dextro acid grouped in the form of a right-handed spiral, or are they placed at the apex of an irregular tetrahedron, or are they disposed according to this or that asymmetric arrangement?  We do not know.<ref>From Pasteur's lecture to the Societe Chimique de Paris in 1883, quoted in DuBos, R.
