"God is present by Love alone. By Love alone
He is great and glorious. By Love alone He liveth
and feeleth in other persons.By Love alone He
enjoyeth all the creatures, by Love alone He
is pleasing to Himself, by Love alone He is rich
and blessed...

The soul is shrivelled up and buried in a grave that
does not love. But that which does love wisely and
truly is the joy and end of all the world, the King of
Heaven, and the Friend of God.

... Thomas Traherne (1637?-1674),"
