Text: A superb and subtle text by Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936), an English novelist, journalist, and poet. He is most famous for his short stories featuring the detective Father Brown, but was also an eloquent apologist for the Christian faith in such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man.
