"The truth was that all I heard served to connect two things which one's mind tend to keep separate, and that connecting gave one a sort of shock. The distinction between the natural and supernatural, in fact, broke down; and when it had done so, one realized how great a comfort it had been - how it had eased the burden of intolerable strangeness which this universe imposes on us by dividing it into two halves and encouraging the mind never to think of both in the same context. What price we may have paid for this comfort in the way of false security and accepted confusion of thought is another matter."
