The physical objects themselves remain unknown in their intrinsic nature

Thus we find that, although the relations of physical objects have all sorts of knowable properties, derived from their correspondence with the relations of sense-data, the physical objects themselves remain unknown in their intrinsic nature, so far at least as can be discovered by means of the senses.

Could I rewrite the bold sentence like this:

The intrinsic nature of the physical objects remain unknown to us. Is it correct?


Many thanks!
