"Faith affirms many things, respecting which the senses are silent, but nothing that they deny. It is superior, but never opposed to their testimony"

The sea of faith Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. But now I only hear Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breath Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear And naked shingles of the world.

— Matthew Arnold
