Poetry & faith

Found a very cool quote on a favorite blog. I think it has something to say on the matter of faith in God, too.

"Poetry is sane because it floats easily in an infinite sea; reason seeks to cross the infinite sea, and so make it finite.... The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits."
G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
