CONF · Augustine · 400 · EN · 256 paragraphs · newadvent.org ↗

So that when herein thought seeks what the sense may arrive at, and says to itself, It is no intelligible form, such as life or justice , because it is the matter of bodies; nor perceptible by the senses, because in the invisible and formless there is nothing which can be seen and felt — while human thought says these things to itself, it may endeavour either to know it by being ignorant , or by knowing it to be ignorant .
