When the natural fire has by its heat and power stirred water, or some other liquid, until it bubbles up; then this is its highest achievement. Then the water boils up and falls down to the bottom, and is then stirred again to the same activity by the power of the fire: so that the water is incessantly bubbling up, and the fire incessantly stirring it.","tags":["Christian Mysticism","Flemish Mysticism","Jan van Ruysbroeck"],"text":null,"title":"The Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage: Second Book: Chapter XV.
