For this reason, that which is between you and your God is termed, not a cloud of the air, but a cloud of unknowing.–Ch. 4, p. 128.Humility…is nothing else but a true knowledge and experience of yourself as you are.–Ch. 13, p. 181.The photograph is by Gustave Le Gray (1820-1884), “Seascape, study of clouds,” albumen print from a collodion glass negative, ca. 1857.
