And the Light floweth forth in similitude,
And indraweth Itself in unity;
Which we perceive, beyond the reason,
In that high point of our understanding
Which is bare and turned within. (John Ruysbroeck)

And the Light floweth forth in similitude, And indraweth Itself in unity; Which we perceive, beyond the reason, In that high point of our understanding Which is bare and turned within.
