I BELIEVE there is an unseen world about which we know nothing as firmly
as any one can believe it. I see things coming up from it into the
visible world and going down again from the seen world to the unseen.
But my unseen world is to be bona fide unseen and, in so far as I say I
know anything about it, I stultify myself. It should no more be
described than God should be represented in painting or sculpture. It is
as the other side of the moon; we know it must be there but we know also
that, in the nature of things, we can never see it. Sometimes, some
trifle of it may sway into sight and out again, but it is so little that
it is not worth counting as having been seen.
