Quote #1

Too bright for our infirm Delight (3)

If there's anything Christian about this poem, it's this line. The meek and weak human is a hallmark of Christian doctrine. To paraphrase: we're weak and God is almighty and powerful.

Quote #2

The Truth's superb surprise (4)

This reminds us of a religious epiphany. It's kind of like seeing the light, really understanding what it's all about.

Quote #3

The Truth must dazzle gradually (7)

We can't help it. When we see bright lights in literature we think religion, particularly Christianity, where God=light.
