There is that in the soul of man which must respond to the highest in virtue. It may not respond at once. Human nature can easily be over-faced by examples too remote and austere. Moreover, human nature can easily deny God because the whole race has long been in rebellion against Him.

And the harsh, monumental lines of the mountains.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
