"Love has seized [the soul] and led it and taught it to walk love's ways, and the soul has followed...sometimes in great labour…in great longings…in much impatience…in seeking and searching, in wanting and having, in climbing and in drawing back, in following and pursuing, in need and in pain, in fear and in sorrow...in great faith and in much doubt." --Beatrijs of Nazareth (c. 1200-1268, Antwerp), "There Are Seven Manners of Loving"
