“Intellect, worshipped by all, brings us as far as natural science, and this science, although very great, is incomplete. Redemption from mere nature is the work of feeling and of the awakened eye of the Spirit.
The body, she says, is subject to the force of gravity. But the soul is ruled by levity, pure.”
