Les Misérables Volume II Book 7 Chapter 5 - Prayer

In which the soul’s secret dialogue with the infinite is pondered with gentle reverence, as prayer is revealed to be the contemplation and communion between two profound immensities—one within us and one beyond. The narrative softly exhorts respect for the mysterious faculties of thought and prayer, advocating a pure and elevated spirituality that honours the infinite without succumbing to superstition or fanaticism.
