The Equality Of Rights Of All Citizens

Gratitude Is The Most Exquisite Form Of Courtesy.

Poetic Experience Is Distinct In Nature From Mystical Experience. Because Poetry Emanates From The Free Creativity Of The Spirit,it Is From The Very Start Oriented Toward Expression, And Terminates In A Word Proffered, It Wants To Speak; Whereas Mystical Because It Emanates From The Deepest Longing Of The Spirit Bent On Knowing, Tends Of Itself Toward Silence And Internal Fruition. Poetic Experience Is Busy With The Created World And The Enigmatic And Innumerable Relations Of Existents With One Another, Not With The Principle Of Being.

For To Love Is To Give What One Is, His Very Being, In The Most Absolute, The Most Brazenly Metaphysical, The Least Phenomenalizable Sense Of This Word.

To Redeem Creation The Saint Wages War On The Entire Fabric Of Creation, With The Bare Weapons Of Truth And Love.

Nothing Is More Human Than For Man To Desire Naturally Things Impossible To His Nature. It Is, Indeed, The Property Of A Nature Which Is Not Closed Up In Matter Like The Nature Of Physical Things, But Which Is Intellectual Or Infinitized By The Spirit. It Is The Property Of A Metaphysical Nature. Such Desires Reach For The Infinite, Because The Intellect Thirsts For Being And Being Is Infinite.
