lions had hands with which to sketch and fashion works of art as men do. Then

each make their gods’ bodies similar in frame to the bodies that they themselves
possess… No! One god there is, greatest among gods and humankind, in no way
like mortals in body or in the thought of his mind. In his entirety, he sees; in his
entirety, he thinks; in his entirety, he hears. Always in the same place, he remains,
moving not at all; it is not fitting that he should shift about now here and, then,
