Beware for fiends in triumph laugh
O'er him who learns the truth by half!
Beware; for God will not endure
For men to make their hope more pure
Than His good promise, or require
Another than the five-stringed lyre
Which He has vowed again o the hands
Devout of him who understands
To tune it justly here!
- C. Patmore, "The Victories of Love", quoted in C. S. Lewis' Miracles (HarperCollins, 2002) p. 233
