"... the error, and I admit it is not easy for spirits cased in flesh and blood to avoid it, consists in seeking in the mortal image the likeness of what perhaps is eternal."
P. B.Shelly.
Read that weeks ago and it has lodged itself in my mind. The human minds is always seeking the divine and the eternal in this world, the shadows of the Gods cast on this mortal sphere, and yet it is one of the greatest weaknesses of humanity that that our needs so often overwhelm our higher emotions.
