Though He is so bright and we so dim,
We are made in His image to witness Him."A

The Pope recognizes clearly the inadequacy of human knowledge; but he also recognizes that it has a Divine source.
"Yet my poor spark had for its source, the sun;
Thither I sent the great looks which compel
Light from its fount: all that I do and am
Comes from the truth, or seen or else surmised,
Remembered or divined, as mere man may."B
