About this Quote

This quote by John C. Ransom talks to the significance of enabling the coexistence of art and religion. He suggests that in order for these 2 things to exist, we need to be willing to make allowances and to quiet the "enfant awful of reasoning" that can interfere with the other faculties. To put it simply, we need to want to accept that art and religion can exist without needing to be justified or explained by logic. We must want to accept that these two things can exist without needing to be validated by factor. This quote speaks with the value of allowing for the coexistence of art and religious beliefs, and of understanding that these 2 things can exist without needing to be discussed by reasoning.
