They contain contradictory extremes; instead of being an "individual," each of them is a "multitude."

Shannon Christensen in Sankt Jakobs Kirke, Copenhagen to see Carl Bloch painting, The Resurrection

We spent the last week in Copenhagen, Denmark. This was one of our stops to see this Carl Bloch altarpiece. He's a fave of mine and there were several to see in his country of origin. Almost 150 year old painting still in its intended viewing place. What a great opportunity to see it up close.
