Pure


What can one describe analogically as “cold, crisp, clear water”?

How about –


* A Mozart symphony

* An argument from Thomas Aquinas

* A Hitchcock movie starring Cary Grant

* Polar coordinates and trigonometric identities

* Transubstantiation at Mass


Though, of course, each does not equal the others in degree or quality. The last, for example, is worth an infinitude of any experience of the prior four.
