DP 6 [2]

. . . the more interiorly something is viewed,

the more marvelous, perfect and beautiful

are the elements seen.

We have said this much to establish the fact

that some image of the Divine exists in every created thing,

but that this becomes less and less apparent

with its descent through degrees,

and still less when a lower degree by its closure

becomes separated from a higher degree

and is clogged with earthy matters.
