All churches are an echo of this–the Cathedral of Nature.

Seth Adam Smith
About This Quote

All churches, all churches of the world are an echo of this. Which means each of them is an attempt to discover how to express the infinite in finite language. The Cathedral of Nature. The cathedral is the answer to the question: “How do I tell the unlimited in finite terms?” And that which lies beyond words lies in nature, or something that has no name.
