"...all who are sensitive to beauty know the most agonising [sic\ sense of revelation its sudden impact brings -- the abrupt disclosure of the mountain summit, the wild cherry-tree in blossom, the crowning moment of a great concerto, witnessing to another beauty beyond sense."
Evelyn Underhill, "Spiritual Life" p.16
"Any Spiritual view which focuses attention on ourselves, and puts the human creature with its small ideas and adventures in the centre [sic] foreground, is dangerous till we recognise [sic] its absurdity." (Underhill, p.12)
