On the Holy Trinity:
"No sooner do I conceive of the one than I am illumined by the spendour of the three; no sooner do I distinquish them than I am carried back to the one. When I think of any one of the three I think of him as the whole, and my eyes are filled, and the greater part of what I am thinking escapes me. I cannot grasp the greatness of that one so as to attribute a greater greatness to the rest. When I contemplate the three together, I see but one torch, and cannot divide or measure out the undivided light"
from Oration on Holy Baptism
by Gregory Nazianzen (330-391)
