"in the history of the mind as in that of towns, the ruins [of a civilization] expose the bedrock [(les fondations)] that, in the case of man, is a matter not of what he constructed, but of what is innate."
"dans l'histoire de l'esprit comme dans celle des villes, les ruines mettent toujours à nu les fondations qui, dans le cas de l'homme, relèvent non du construit mais de l'inné."
Gustave Martelet, S.J., "Information du monde et résurrection du Christ," in Penser la foi: recherches en théologie aujourd'hui: mélanges offerts à Joseph Moingt, ed. Joseph Doré and Christoph Theobald (Paris: Éditions du Cerf/Assas Éditions, 1993), 1056 (1053-1061). relèver (but without de) can also mean to raise, even erect. Unfortunately, relèvent du/de is, in any case, in the present.
