Vii. Init. FOURTH LECTURE. 125 But this is not all. Tlie very imperfection of every name tliat had been cliosen, their very inadequacy to express the fullness and infinity of the Divine, would keep up the searcii for new names till at last every part of nature in wliich an approach to tlie Divine couM be discovered was chosen as a name of the Om- nipresent. If the presence of the Divine was per- ceived in the strong wind, the strong wind became its name : if its presence was perceived in the ea...rthquake and the fire, tiie earthquake and the fire became its names. Do you still wonder at polytheism or at mythology? Wliy, they are inevitable. They are, if you like, a parler enfaiitin of religion. But the world had its childhood, and when it was a child it spoke as a child, it understood as a child, it thought as a child ; and, I say again, in that it spoke as a child its lano;uao;e was true, in that it believed as a child its religion was true. The fault rests with us, if we insist on takincr the lancrua^e of children for the lancruage of men, if we attempt to translate literally ancient into modern language, oriental into occidental speech, po- etry into prose.
