What marvel, if I should be wholly set on fire by Thee, and should die to myself; since Thou art a fire always burning and never decaying; a Love purifying the heart and enlightening the understanding.
-Bk. IV, ch. xvi.
_______________
Remember, Lord, that Thou didst yearn
To set man's heart aflame
With that consuming fire of love
Which from Thine own Heart came!
If from a little spark can spring
A mighty fire, Oh! then
May my heart's love run through the world
And fire the hearts of men!
-Poems.
