"Louis Janmot, c. 1835-55: Generation Divine, one of a series of Christian paintings with verses he created over a 40-year period. The lines accompanying this painting are these: ""At the moment the infinite wisdom has chosen/Overcome the void yields and gives way to life:/The yawning abyss, dark and silent,/A human soul rises to the light of heaven.""
