The scientific
part of the analogy of the rainbow is of course obsolete and
valueless. The general principle holds good that what is
beyond comprehension in theology finds its parallel in what is
beyond comprehension in the visible world. We are not to be
staggered and turn dizzy in either sphere of thought at the
discovery that we have reached a limit beyond which thought cannot
go. We may live in a finite world, though infinite space is
beyond our powers of thought: we may trust in God revealed in
the Trinity, though we cannot analyse or define Him.
