Should we only fall silent in revulsion, shame and guilt? To what purpose?”
Bernhard Schlink

Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court“the divine has taken a few steps back from humankind, perhaps in revulsion, perhaps because we don't deserve to look directly upon holy beings anymore....
