“There is something called the rapture of the deep, and it refers to what happens when a deep-sea diver spends too much time at the bottom of the ocean and can't tell which way is up.

Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain.”
