Incarnation
"The story of the Incarnation is the story of a descent and resurrection…one has the picture of a diver, stripping off garment after garment, making himself naked, then flashing for a moment in the air, and then down through the green, and warm, and sunlit water into the pitch black, cold, freezing water, down into the mud and slime, then up again, his lungs almost bursting, back again to the green and warm and sunlit water, and then at last out into the sunshine, holding in his hand the dripping thing he went down to get. This thing is human nature."
C. S. Lewis, "The Grand Miracle"
(One very long running sentence!)
