Late have I loved you, Beauty so ancient and so new, late have I loved you!
Lo, you were within, but I outside, seeking there for you,
and upon the shapely things you have made I rushed headlong,
I, misshapen. You were with me, but I was not with you.
They held me back far from you,
those things which would have no being
were they not in you. You called, shouted, broke through my deafness;
you flared, blazed, banished my blindness;
you lavished your fragrance, I gasped, and now I pant for you;
I tasted you, and I hunger and thirst;
you touched me, and I burned for your peace. St. Augustine (Sister Maria Boulding translation) @BijanOmrani @Emma_A_Webb @WalkerMarcus @IrreverendPod @holydisrupter @Visual_Theology @ChiCathedral
