From Theodor Haecker’s (1950) Journal in the Night:

The fact that language does not permit of calling machines ‘wonderful’ and ‘divine’ rests upon a generally accepted feeling. It is clear that these words cannot be used to describe the products of the machine, unlike so many products of man’s hand, and in particular, works of art. The human hand is a wonderful instrument by means of which the spirit, and at times even the Holy Spirit, with an absolutely immaterial intention, creates the difference between a mediocre mechanical work and a work of genius.
