…in every age, when a new Manifestation hath appeared and a
fresh revelation of God's transcendent power was vouchsafed unto men, they that
misbelieved in Him, deluded by the appearance of the peerless and everlasting Beauty
in the garb of mortal men, have failed to recognize Him. They have erred from
His path and eschewed His company -- the company of Him Who is the Symbol of
nearness to God.
- Baha'u'llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah’)
