MECHTILD OF MAGDEBURG QUOTES
|
|
- I cannot dance O Lord, unless Thou lead me.
- If Thou wilt that I leap joyfully
- Then must Thou Thyself first dance and sing!
- Then will I leap for love
- From love to knowledge,
- From knowledge to fruition,
- From fruition to beyond all human sense
- There will I remain
- And circle evermore.
MECHTILD OF MAGDEBURG, The Flowing Light of the Godhead
- God is not only fatherly,
- God is also mother
- who lifts her loved child
- from the ground to her knee.
- The Trinity is like a mother's cloak
- wherein the child finds a home
- and lays its head on the maternal breast.
MECHTILD OF MAGDEBURG, attributed, Soul Weavings
- Where two lovers come secretly together
- They must often part, without parting.
