1 Samuel 5:1-5 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.… The philosopher Heine, in one of his letters written from Paris, says: "Only with pain could I drag myself to the Louvre, and I was nearly exhausted when I entered the lofty hall where the blessed goddess of beauty, our dear lady of Mile, stands on her pedestal. At her feet I lay a long time, and I wept so passionately that a stone must have had compassion on me. Therefore the goddess looked down pityingly upon me, yet at the same time inconsolably as though she would say: 'See you not that I have no arms, and that, therefore, I can give you no help?'"
