Favorite Quote:
“At the climax of ‘The Dream of Gerontius’ the soul, approaching heaven, perceives something of the divine vision: a grand mysterious harmony:
It floods me, like the deep and solemn sound of many waters. Harmony requires difference.
The concept rests at the very heart of Christian theology in the concept of the Trinity. “
