[/Her/.] To understand 2 <#fn_51> God is difficult, to speak [of Him]
impossible.

For that the Bodiless can never be expressed in body, the Perfect never
can be comprehended by that which is imperfect, and that ’tis difficult
for the Eternal to company with the ephemeral.

The one is for ever, the other doth pass; the one is in [the clarity of]
Truth, the other in the shadow of appearance.

So far off from the stronger [is] the weaker,

p. 15

the lesser from the greater [is so far], as [is] the mortal [far] from
the Divine.

It is the distance, then, between the two that dims the Vision of the
Beautiful.

For ’tis with eyes that bodies can be seen, with tongue that things seen
can be spoken of; but That which hath no body, that is unmanifest, and
figureless, and is not made objective [to us] out of matter,—cannot be
comprehended by our sense.

I have it in my mind, O Tat, I have it in my mind, that what cannot be
spoken of, is God.
