Revelation cannot go beyond human consciousness. The Western mind has taken Christ's metaphorical illustrations literally, and his literal moral precepts metaphorically. April 18.... Very thankful to have got through so well so far. As at the beginning of this chapter we took a step backward, so we must now take one forward and speak briefly of the second visit to Santo Domingo in 1874. The Doctor's health was failing; he had suffered from the winter's cold, and longed for the warm sunshine of the beloved island. Would she go with him? he asked.
