Subject: God and the Sun?
Dear Webmaster
After several weeks of fruitless badgering of friends and colleagues, I
am turning to your discussion group for help in identifying a putative
quote from (again, I am very tentative here) a French Symbolist or
Romantic poet, possibly Baudelaire, possibly not. As quoted to me in
English some 7 years ago, it ran something like "God and the Sun cannot
look at each other", or alternately, "God and the Sun cannot look each
other in the eye". Does this ring any bells with anyone?
Many thanks and good wishes to your group.
