Idea of God

The glory of the One who moves all things
    permeates the universe
    and glows in one part more
    and in another less.

I was within the heaven
that receives more or His light:
    and I saw things that he
    who from that height descends,
    forgets or can not speak;

For nearing its desired end,
    our intellect sinks
    into an abyss
    so deep
    that memory
    fails to follow.
            The Divine Comedy, Paradiso Canto I:1-9>
