What We Have Discovered
What has been done is little—scarcely a beginning; yet it is much in comparison with the total blank of a century past. And our knowledge will, we are easily persuaded, appear in turn the merest ignorance to those who come after us. Yet it is not to be despised, since by it we reach up groping to touch the hem of the garment of the Most High.
Notes:
Is just a little of what there is, but it is vastly more than previous generations knew, and future generations will know vastly more as we reach for truth.
