Jésus-Christ appartenait à la véritable race des prophètes. Il a vu d'un œil ouvert le mystère de l'âme. Attiré par sa sévère harmonie, ravi par sa beauté, il y a vécu, il y a eu son être et, seul dans toute l'histoire, il a estimé la grandeur de l'homme.

Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there.Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.
