“Lord, how can man preach thy eternall word?
He is a brittle crazie glasse:
Yet in thy temple thou dost him afford
This glorious and transcendent place,
To be a window, through thy grace.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
“One is sick at heart of this pagoda worship. It is like the beating of gongs in a Hindoo subterranean temple.”
