"Everything toward which you cherish any respect or reverence
deserves the name of sacred; you yourselves, too, say that you would
feel a ‘sacred dread ’ of laying hands on it. And you give this tinge even to the unholy (gallows, crime, etc.). You have a horror of touching it. There lies in it something uncanny, that is, unfamiliar or not your own."
