'The statement by St Paul: *Videmus nunc per speculum in aegnimate* would be
a skylight through which one might submerge himself in the true Abyss,
whichis the soul of man. The terrifying immensity of the firmament's abyss
is an illusion, an external reflection of our own abysses, perceived "in a
mirror." We should invert our eyes and practice a sublime astronomy in the
infinitude of our hearts, for which God was willing to die...If we see the
Milky Way, it is because it actually exists in our souls.'
-- Borges re: I Cor 13:12
