… the human soul is exalted above all egress and regress. It
is still, and yet it soareth; it moveth, and yet it is still. It is, in itself,
a testimony that beareth witness to the existence of a world that is
contingent, as well as to the reality of a world that hath neither beginning
nor end. Behold how the dream thou hast dreamed is, after the lapse of many
years, re-enacted before thine eyes. Consider how strange is the mystery of the
world that appeareth to thee in thy dream. Ponder in thine heart upon the
unsearchable wisdom of God, and meditate on its manifold revelations....
