Revelation

Lochiel, Lochiel! beware of the day;
For, dark and despairing, my sight I may seal
But man cannot cover what God would reveal.
Campbell—Lochiel’s Warning.

’Tis Revelation satisfies all doubts,
Explains all mysteries except her own,
And so illuminates the path of life,
That fools discover it, and stray no more.
Cowper—The Task. Bk. II. The Time-Piece. L. 526.

Nature is a revelation of God;
Art a revelation of man.
Longfellow—Hyperion. Bk. III. Ch. V.
