Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Christ of the Human Heart: A Christmas Gift-Book
The poet gliding out into the mystical moist night air to escape an icy intellectualism that he might gaze in perfect silence at the stars illustrates the longing we all experience at times to escape the critical temper of our age. We would fain leave the lecture-room for some beautiful temple of faith and there 'worship in untroubled confi dence the God of our Fathers. As the astronomer may deal with solar distances, with the motion andsize of suns and stars until he forgets the beauty of the silent heavens, and misses the grandeur that awes the soul of child and poet, so we modems, who are nothing if not critical, in our critical blindness are in grave danger of losing the beauty that streams across the centuries from the life and work of the Man of Nazareth, as conceived in the loving imaginations of men.
