Man has a more comprehensive view of the moon, than the man in the moon himself.

We know the moon is round; he only infers it.

It is because we ourselves are in ourselves, that we know ourselves not.

And it is only of our easy faith, that we are not infidels throughout; and only of our lack of faith, that we believe what we do.
In some universe-old truths, all mankind are disbelievers.

Do you believe that you lived three thousand years ago?
That you were at the taking of Tyre, were overwhelmed in Gomorrah?
No.
