The human mind seems to struggle to get a peep behind the scenes. The

dawn, the evening, the hurricane, the stupendous and gigantic forces

of nature, it beauties, these have exercised the human mind, and it

aspires to go beyond, to understand something about them. In the

struggle to endow these phenomena with personal attributes, giving

them souls and bodies, sometimes beautiful, sometimes transcendent.

Every attempt ends by these phenomena becoming abstractions whether

personalized or not.
