• I do not care what face other ages and other people have given to the enormous, faceless essence.They have fulfilled their duty. But today we have gone beyond these needs; we have shattered this particular mask of the Abyss; our God no longer fits under the old features.The mystery has grown savage, and God has grown greater.Let us stoop down to our hearts and confront the Abyss valiantly.For our God is not an abstract thought, a logical necessity, a high and harmonious structure made of deductions and speculations.
