Dawn of All

CHAPTER IV
22/37

It's only the active trades, which are incompatible with Religion, that are in the hands of the laity.

It's been found by experience that no really fine work can be done except by those who are familiar with divine things; because it's only those who see things all round, who have, that is to say, a really comprehensive intuition.

Take history.

Unless you have a really close grasp of what Providence means--of not only the End, but the Means by which God works; unless you can see right through things to their Intention, how in the world can you interpret the past?
Don't you remember what Manners said about Realism?
We don't want misleading photographs of externals any more.

We want Ideas.
