Two Things that Can't be Fathomed

There are two things that we’ll never get to the bottom of. But the closest estimation we’ll get of both was given on slab of wood and crossbar a few thousands years ago.

Philosophers have measured mountains, Fathomed the depths of seas, of states, and kings, Walked with a staff to heav’n, and traced fountains: But there are two vast, spacious things, The which to measure it doth more behove: Yet few there are that sound them; Sin and Love.

—George Herbert
