Thy beauty stuns me; thy love inflames me; thy fervent love continually sets me in a consuming conflagration; thy love, my Lord, has spread through my heart and all my bones; all vitality has been stilled within me; my nature has begun to fall, my God, into life-filled non-knowledge. There is no power in speech here. My nearness to thee is impelling me to distance from everything. Thy Glory has covered my intellect's nakedness with it's cloak of light. (D18)
