O
human
science
!
you
are
so
little
worth,
and
yet
with
you
men
do
not
fail
to
take
every
pre-caution!
O
science
mysterious
and
divine!
you
are
so
great
and
so
necessary
;
and
yet
they
neglect
you,
they
limit
you,
they
contract
you,
they
do
violence
to
you
!
Oh,
will
there
never
be
a
school
of
religion
!
Alas
!
by
wishing
to
make
it
a
study,
man
has
marred
it.
He
has
sought
to
give
rules
and
limits
to
the
Spirit
of
God,
who
is
without
limit.
O
poor
powerless
souls
!
you
are
better
fitted
to
answer
God*s
purposes,
and,
if
you
are
faithful,
your
devotion
will
be
more
pleasing
to
Him,
than
that
of
those
great
intellects
which
make
prayer
a
study
rather
than
a
devotion.
More
than
this,
I
say
that
such
souls
as
these,
who
appear
so
powerless
and
so
incapable,
are
worthy
of
consideration,
provided
they
only
knock
at
the
door,
and
wait
with
a
humble
patience
until
it
be
opened
to
them.
Those
persons
of
great
intellect
and
subtle
understanding,
who
can-not
remain
a
moment
in
silence
before
God,
who
make
a
continual
Babel,
who
are
so
well
able
to
give
an
account
of
their
devotion
in
all
its
parts,
who
go
through
it
always
according
to
their
own
will,
and
