| BkVII:8.IV.3 | That feeling is of the heart finding love. It is a feeling of not being in the world, but a flight of the soul towards the heaven of union. It is a feeling of fullness, of perfect unity, both heady and loving, a state you wish never to leave. "Here I want to stay," says a heart in love with love and a mind ecstatic with truth. The senses are also affected. That is why when you contemplate such a work of art or listen to a song that touched your heart, your attention is rapt. You could spend hours attending to what so captivated your attention. Why? |
