This delight and this consolation are greater and more pleasant to the soul and the body than all the satisfactions of the earth, even though one man should enjoy them all together. In this well-being God sinks into the heart by means of His gifts; with so much savoury solace and joy that the heart overflows from within.","tags":["Christian Mysticism","Flemish Mysticism","Jan van Ruysbroeck"],"text":null,"title":"The Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage: Second Book: Chapter XVIII.
