Divine love Quote by Margaret Porette
““ How this Soul swims in the sea of joy. Chapter 28. Love. Such a Soul, 1 says Love, swims in the sea of joy, that is in the sea of delights flowing and streaming from the Divinity, and she feels no joy, for she herself is joy, 2 and so she swims and flows in joy without feeling any joy, for she dwells in joy and joy dwells in her; for through the power of joy she is herself joy, which has changed her into itself. 3 Now they have one common will, 4 like fire and flame, the will of the lover and that of the beloved, for love has changed this Soul into itself. The Soul. Ah, sweetest, pure, divine Love, says this Soul, how sweet is this changing by which I am changed into the thing that I love better than I love myself! And I am so changed that I have therein lost my name for the sake of loving, I who can love so little; and I am changed into that which I love more than myself, 5 that is, into Love, for I love nothing but Love.””
