A great quotation from William Butler Yeats, a poet whom I hold close to my heart because he is tattooed on my arm. So hopefully he stays close to my heart...
"When I try to put all into a phrase I say, 'Man can embody truth but cannot know it.' The abstract is not life and everywhere draws out its contradictions. You can refute Hegel but not the saint."
This is sort of what I was discussing a few posts ago and it jives with what I've been learning lately; I guess I'm just increasingly interested in that practical active God-fearing saint.
