Synopsis
Excerpt from Santayana, the Later Years: A Portrait With Letters
I am not surprised or displeased that you should be somewhat attracted to the church. It is the great, normal, human solution - too human, I think: but I have less need of the sustaining faith than most people: animal faith is enough for me.
