    “When you have broken the reality into concepts you never can reconstruct it in its wholeness.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “I fled Him, down the nights and down the days;
    I fled Him, down the arches of the years;
    I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways
    Of my own mind; and in the midst of tears
    I hid from Him, and under running laughter.”
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
