HOLY TRINITY
| Water is an individual, an animal, and
is alive, remove the hydrogen and it is an animal and is alive;
the remaining oxygen is also an individual, an animal, and is alive. Recapitulation:
the two individuals combined, constitute a third individual--and yet each
continues to be an individual....here was mute Nature explaining
the sublime mystery of the Trinity so luminously that even the commonest
understanding could comprehend it, whereas many a trained master of words
had labored to do it with speech and failed. - "Three Thousand Years among the Microbes" |
