Wise Toad says:
Wär nicht das Auge sonnenhaft,
Die Sonne könnt es nie erblicken;
Läg nicht in uns des Gottes eigne Kraft,
Wie könnt uns Göttliches entzücken?
Were the eye itself not Sun-like,
It may never see the Sun;
Were God's own Might not within us,
How could we experience the divine?
Goethe, J. W., Gedichte. Ausgabe letzter Hand.1827, Zahme Xenien, Kap. 3
