Human Representations of the
Divine Ideal of Love.
It is impossible to express the nature of this supreme and absolute ideal of love in human language. Even the highest flight of human imagination is incapable of comprehending it, in all its infinite perfection and beauty. Nevertheless, the followers of the religion of love, in its higher as well as lower forms, have all along and in all countries, had to use the inadequate human language to comprehend and to define their own ideal of love. Nay more-human love itself, in all its varied forms, has been made to typify this inexpressible divine love. Man can think of divine things only in his own human way. To us the Absolute can be expressed only in our relative language.
The whole universe is to us a writing of the infinite, in the language of the finite.
