But I Remember More Dearly Autumn Afternoons

You Can Put This Another Way By Saying That While In Other Sciences The Instruments You Use Are Things External To Yourself (things Like Microscopes And Telescopes), The Instrument Through Which You See God Is Your Whole Self. And If A Man's Self Is Not Kept Clean And Bright, His Glimpse Of God Will Be Blurred - Like The Moon Seen Through A Dirty Telescope. That Is Why Horrible Nations Have Horrible Religions: They Have Been Looking At God Through A Dirty Lens.

My Own Eyes Are Not Enough For Me; I Will See Through Those Of Others.

Children Have One Kind Of Silliness, As You Know, And Grown-ups Have Another Kind.

And I Was The Lion You Do Not Remember Who Pushed The Boat In Which You Lay, A Child Near Death, So That It Came To Shore Where A Man Sat, Wakeful At Midnight, To Receive You.

In Science We Have Been Reading Only The Notes To A Poem; In Christianity We Find The Poem Itself.
